Default std.cirrus

I am considering purchase of std.cirrus but I am little heavy (240
lbs.) Any heavy std.cirrus owners-pilots here?
I would be happy for any comments.
Thank you
Mojmir

One of the most effective, and most difficult options, is to eat only
green-and-yellow vegetables and small portions of lean protein for a
very, very long time, and to quit eating "real" meals and make meals
into snacks.

This reliably causes abatement of the Creeping Largess Syndrome that
seems to be taking over the Western World, and causes gravity to be
less influential on one's person.

I used this method to stay under MGW in my own glider (yes, I weighed
the glider with myself in it, fully rigged, and was over).

Same weight. 186cm

I fit, (only just) and the Std Cirrus is a very nice mistress.

The forward CG improves the low speed handling.

Mojmir,
If you haven't already joined the Std Cirrus Yahoo group, it has
300+ members and is very active. You'll get instant answers to any
question. I weigh 230 and my Std. Cirrus handled fine.
