Good morning everyone.
I was recently talking to someone that built a 950 lbs max gross 701 and my
plans and manual calls for a 1100 lbs max gross.
Could someone explain the structural differences between the two models.
Thanks ahead

Previous plans has MANY items, what was designed totally other way.
I ordered my original plans at the time, when 950 lbs was the maximum
grossweight. However, I ordered upgraded plans (inside one year!!!!!!!),
and Zenair told me, that I can't build my plane with that bigger gross
weight,
since I didn't purchase new serial number, only upgraded plans etc...
Big question for everyone! What will be my CH701 max gross weight in here,
in finland, when I build my plane as 1100lbs  I know the answer, do you?

Hello Jean-Paul,
I have the Edition #4, 6th printin 02/2002 with Gross at 1100lbs. From what I have been told and read, the parts that are labeled SP (example 7V2-6SP or 7V3-2SP) have been modified by Zenith to withstand the higher gross weight.

Guess I'm missing something here. Zenith can't tell you what you can or
cannot do? Nothing says you have to use the serial number they assigned
the plans, I didn't. I bought a set of plans with a Zenith serial number.
Then when I ordered my N-Number, I assigned my own serial number and
registered it at 1320 lbs gross weight. Zenith has no control over how you
build/register your plane, Finland might, but Zenith doesn't. If you have
updated plans for the 1100 lbs, then build it. Zenith tries to control
serial numbers because they don't want multiply plans built from one set of
plans.
