| Subject: | Re: Gross weight question |
Multiple answers to multiple questions.
The 1320 weight restriction is usually applied due to LSA restrictions. An aircraft
may indeed be able to handle more weight, but there is a caveat. In the case
of the CH 750 and some others, the aircraft was designed specifically with
(land) LSA in mind. As such, Zenith has not designed the aicraft to handle more,
nor have they tested it as such for routine operations. Yes, they have tested
it to higher loads, but that is intended as a safety margin only, not for
day to day use. If you list a higher gross weight, you are basically on your own.
But the deciding factor is likely that your insurance company may not cover
you.
The 1430 restriction for amphibs is designed to account for the added weight underneath,
not within. Additional weight within the aircraft may well create a
wholly different structural stress scenario. Since the added allowance compensates
for float weight, the effect on gross will be negligible. I imagine Zenith
would tell you the airplane could probably accommodate floats, but they likely
won't specifically say it's "okay" because that might incur liability on their
part (dang lawyers). Personally I think the 750 would be very well suited
for floats, and I imagine some companies may well come out with custom floats
for it in the future.
As for belly pods, that would basically be up to you. Some people have put belly
pods on the 701, but those would not affect gross if they are intended for additional
bulk rather than weight. Whether or not people use them in that manner
I really can't say. I know some people routinely fly over gross, but that isn't
very smart in my book.

Hang in there guys. I've been on the list since day one and they are probably just
chewing through the backlog.
I'll post my first impressions once I get them in my hands.
I'm really interested to see how close I came with my CH-approved 110% 701 drawings.
Cheers
