Maximum pilot weight of 210lbs? I suppose if I were rich enough to buy this I could also get myself a personal trainer.

- fastball 5y agoWell at 210 lbs you're either tall enough that you probably won't fit in this thing lengthwise or you are in fact overweight and losing a few lbs wouldn't hurt.
- nhumrich 5y agoYou might want to meet some football players/wrestlers/gymnasts etc before you tell someone to lose some pounds, just based on weight alone
- gibbonsrcool 5y agoWhat are the odds that someone posting on this site falls into those categories?
- mattlondon 5y agoMore common than you might expect! You do not need to be a professional sports person - keen hobbyists exist and there is definitely a group here that are into power lifting.
- hackflip 5y agoI am an avid powerlifter and used to compete in submission grappling. Now I write TypeScript code.
- abeppu 5y agoFootball players, sure, and a bunch of other kinds of athletes ... But aren't gymnasts typically relatively light?
- mstade 5y agoYes, gymnasts are typically very lean. Source: I used to be one, though I'm not particularly lean anymore sadly.
- underwater 5y agoFootball players/wrestlers/gymnasts aren't taking health advice from strangers on the internet.
- markb139 5y agoOr both. I’m 6ft6 and 254 lbs
- rbanffy 5y agoI have this problem with Lotus cars. They “fit like a glove”.
- youeseh 5y agoIf you're rich enough, then perhaps fitting into your own flying car is good motivation to hire a personal trainer ;).
- peter_retief 5y agoI had to do the conversion to kg which is 95.25kg. My naked weight is 93kg but with clothes/wallet/keys goes up to about 95kg. I guess I will have to wait for the family version to come out.
- james_in_the_uk 5y ago15 stone for us Brits
- bartread 5y agoMe too. If I got down to 90 - 91kg and 10% body fat I could just about squeeze in but with clothes and my work bag as well? Nope.
- teeray 5y agoThey’re limited to 254 pounds empty, and I imagine batteries behind the pilot constitute an appreciable fraction of that weight budget. More pilot weight would probably push your center of gravity too far forward which would put undue strain on the front motors, causing them to fail. EDIT: CG = center of gravity, for clarity
