Is the 1,320 lb gross weight more of a structural limitation or a number set to comply with LSA? With an empty weight of around 800 lbs, this aircraft still yeilds over 500 lbs useful load. But what about people who are adding floats and belly pods? It seems to me that the addition weight would limit the airframe to single pilot operations without busting the max gross weight. If you were adding floats, legally you could have a max gross of 1430 and still comply with LSA, but would the airframe of the 750 (or other zenith kits) handle the additional weight? (extra 110 lbs) I suppose I could have just simply asked; Was the aircraft engineered to exactly 1320 lbs gross, or was this reduced to have a legal LSA?
