Where ya trying to fly, Frank? I'm over 300 lbs right now, and while it costs a bit more, I'm taking my training in a Cherokee 180.

Losing weight, though. Down about 12 lbs in the last month.

Right now I just wanted to make sure I hadn't developed air-sickness and maybe give me even more motivation so I was looking at flying schools here in Denmark that offered a introcution flight lesson which usually concists of some theory and then some flying where you'd be in the left and if possible control the plane during all phases of the flight. But some of the places I've seen listed max. 100kg weight however I haven't made a list of what plane was used but I can try and look some more. I know some of the flight schools use Cessna 172s, another use a Grob 115A/C, another use a Piper PA38 for initial training then a PA28R for complex/IFR.
