Rob,

My plane is 415 empty.  With me and my dad and fuel I am close to 870 pounds on
takeoff.  That also puts me very close to my most forward CG range.  It makes
a big difference in the handling, but dad only comes to visit maybe twice a year.
I wouldn't put my plane under that kind of load continually.  I mostly fly
children if I take a passenger.

When you take someone up in your Mark II, be prepared for the longer takeoff roll
and slower climb out.
