When I bought my kit it was about five numbers away from the new SP kit. So I had the new plans but the old kit. I made as many changes as possible but didn't change the spars. I just had my 701 inspected on Tuesday by the FAA and made the first flight on Friday morning. I listed my gross weight as 1100 lbs. with a G rating as +3.5 and -1.7. This is the same load factor as 960 lbs. and the factory approved +4 and -2 G's. Mark S. 701/912ULS repitching prop then more flying. ----- Original Message ----- From: Damien and Kathy To: zenith701801-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 8:33 PM Subject: Zenith701801-List: Max Gross Weight Thanks for the responses. I am looking at a 701 that has the 960 spar. It has many of the 1100 updates, but it was too late to change the spar. I am not a builder, but I guess that it might be difficult in this case to know exactly what the actual gross weight would be. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:47:34 PM PST US From: Keith Ashcraft Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: Max Gross Weight Hey Mark, Congratulations!!!!!!!
