I had a friend, who I trust and whose built two very beautiful birds, tell me today that you can increase your kits limiting max gross takeoff weight above what the kit design has published. He said all you have to do is show it'll carry the extra weight. I'd kill for just 50 to 100 extra lbs on my max gross for my Horizon 2 build. He used an example of an Oshkosh award winning Velocity that runs almost 800lbs over the "normal" max gross limit. Is this true? As I said, I trust him immensely but jm just trying to make sure I dont so something stupid.
