The MTOW for my airplane is supposedly 1232 lbs. An Allegro 2007 with a Rotax 912 UL is essentially the same airplane, with the same load factors, but with some minor airframe changes such as a little more dihedral in the wing and a slight reshaping of the rear section of the fuselage and raising the tail slightly higher off the ground, yet the MTOW for the 2007 is 1320 lbs. My question is why does the model 2007 have this allowable increase of 88 lbs. over the model 2000? Why will my model 2000 airframe supposedly not safely carry this additional 88 lbs? Hugh G.
