fact to show you how dumb some of these people are a guy across the
taxiway from me built a Kitfox. He put so much **** on it that with him

Doesn't the builder determine the gross weight of a homebuilt?


Within certain limits, yes. But you don't get to say the Kitfox has a
3600 pound gross weight just because it suits you. The FAA has oversight.
