Your biggest issue with the Firestar 2 and a heavy pilot is going to be a far forward
CG.We have the same problem. I have a FIrestar 2 and I weigh 250 and am
6'4". How big are you?
i'm 6ft... i have only one seat in the cockpit. (2) 5 gallon tanks under the engine. i just wondered what the maximum weight is for the cockpit? ............. i figured that since the FS 2 is made for (2) people one heavy person shouldn't be a problem with weight and balance.. i don't know

You have a 750 LB gross weight and that is what you should watch along with the weight and balance which is critical......How much does your plane weigh? Mine is about 400lbs empty so that will leave about 350lbs for people, fuel, & any luggage/coolers ect. 10 gal gas is 60lbs so that leaves 290lbs in mine for pilot/pass. I am 6'4" and I fit in mine so your height should work and if you are 290lbs or less you would work in mine! Hope that helps
