Jay,
I agree with you about not being flutter, but 5 of the 6 aircraft had 2
people on board and perhaps had maxed or exceeded weight limits.
The suggestion that a stronger center section and attachments is
probably a good idea that would add only a couple of pounds at best.
Static load testing
at max is different from repeated flight loading, but potential failure
due to fatigue would just take a lot longer. I'm 197 lbs and feel very
safe when
flying by myself, but I won't board anyone in my aircraft that weighs
much more than 200 lbs because of this type of concern, even in an HDS.

The Zodiac XL has been load tested twice, passing both times. The
German scientists PROVED that there is NOT a flutter problem with the
XL, and yet the Brits insist on testing a solution to a problem that
doesn't exist. Is it because they didn't do the tests themselves that
they have totally disregarded all the testing that has been done on
the XL ?? I guess we MUST allow that the Brit Bureaucrats'
intelligence is superior to that of everyone else in the world. Talk
about hard-headed arrogance !!
