I fly a 160hp-140 out of a 2100 x 25' paved runway. I removed the back seats and only fly with 2 adults, typically had the fuel at the tabs but if im going somewhere will top it. I've never flown with more than 3 adult sized people and would not recommend more than 3 ever.

Weight does not affect glide ratio, just affects best glide speed Vg.
