I couldn't fing the thread that someone use to tease me about
the weight limit going to 330 lbs, so I'll just jump in here and
blame Jim (;^) (evil troll!)

I wanted to give you all a e-mail I recieved from EAA. I was asking
them some questions in regards to weight and if there was a any changes coming to
the part 103 rule in regards to weight.

Thank you for the e-mail. The 254 pounds empty weight includes the
engine and everything else needed for flight less fuel and oil. There is no
active project in the FAA to add weight for Part 103 ultralights. I would plan on the
weight remaining 254 pounds.
