A friend of mine is coming out and I was going to go pick him up at an airport about an hour's flight away. He is about 350lbs and Im about 200lbs. I did the W&B and if he sits in the back seat, we are within the CG of the plane. Just wondering about the handling characteristics of the Cherokee with that weight distribution, i have flown closer to the edge of the envelop with my buddy in the passengers seat and his girlfriend in the back.
