Is Kitfox IV-1200 a good purchase if I plan on flying with myself and my wife about 50% of the time? My wife and I aren't particularly heavy (140 and 170 lbs), but based on what I read online, the useful load on these is about 420 lbs. That means that we would always have to fly with 18 gal or less to stay under gross. I know a lot of people fly them and clearly it's a two seater, so there must be plenty of people flying it with a partner. Do you just ignore the gross weight or sacrifice the range?

The IVs relative availability and the price point makes it attractive, but the useful load is a bit of a turn off. Thanks for the help!
