It doesn't matter if they do. If the aircraft has been certified with a max gross
weight of 1,320 lbs or less, it's legal. If you have a PA-11 that has "gained weight"
to the point that it weighs more than its max gross takeoff weight, it really
shouldn't be flying in any category. But still, it's the certified weight that
counts, not the actual weight.
