And you run out of payload SPACE probably before you hit that... You'll run out of ability to maintain level flight long before you get to the structural limits. On a cool day a long runway and some patience the physical limit is much higher. Don't know how much but I wouldn't be suprised if it could be double on a winter day. Add a 150 or even a 180HP engine and the physical limit is huge. Ahhh... actually no. With the larger engine the useful load is less in the case of a 150.
