The recent post about upping the gross weight is truly a frequently asked question, as are a lot of the "new guy" questions.  It'd sure be great if there were a place we could have a FAQ.  A down-side is that somebody has to be an editor or arbitrator of sorts.  Any offers to host such a thing?



I'd suggest NOT asking for it to be the factory FAQ, as it then means the factory is potentially endorsing or checking out what we individuals put in.  Besides, John and Deb sound like they have enough going on!

I think it up to the designer to make the design mods ok'd for the FAA.

I also think there is more than just a few "simple mods" to be done to 

actually increase the strength and hence the gross weight.

It probably  easier to build lighter in the first place.



And who finally give the weight increase approval ?    the government ?  So 

they must be satisfied.

I don't think the factory could really offer anything more than suggestions 

unless they have the engineers that will make documentation on how to change 

weights.   Best to Ask John McBean.



That being said,  In Canada we can ask for weight increase for example 

floats and your gross might increase 150 to 200 lbs or so and then when 

floats come off you still have  that increase gross weight unless it been 

specified (with floats)



I think through the evolution of the Kitfox there were many changes as the 

models changed to next model and it was not just heavier tube or a different 

size tube but many other changes like AOI of the wings, etc.  It could get 

pretty complicated becoming a experimental engineer.

We DO! It's called the Matronics Wiki. (. . . as in Wikipedia.) And 

the best thing about it is that YOU are the editor and arbitrator. Visit:
