Dear Abby, was I tacky?

Try a three hundred pounder in a Grumman TR2 two seat airplane on a hot day! Those things hardly get off with two average people on a cool day at sea level. My one really scary flight in my plane. By the way, the TR2 is the LBC of aircraft, a real sport plane. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif

Just refueled the night before. My friend showed up and asked for a ride. I never gave a thought to the 90 degree day and full fuel. "Sure, Bill. Hop in!" I must have been 160 over gross and taking off over low power lines. I wiped for a week but he didn't have a clue. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
