The LoneStar helicopter was designed for a pilot weighing 130 to 225 pounds. However, it can carry either a heavier, or lighter pilot if a balance weight is placed near the tail rotor or the nose gear. The maximum weight with which the helicopter can hover out of ground effect is 650 pounds. This means that on top of the 370 pounds which the aircraft weighs, you can add a 170-pound pilot, 55 pounds of fuel (8.9 gallons), and 55 additional pounds of whatever else you desire (maybe video surveillance camera equipment, communications equipment or air rescue first-aid supplies).
