I'm not sure if your talking about the 'built' version or E/AB
version. If it's the experimental version you can set the gross
weight where you like. Just limit it to the LSA requirement and your
good to go. You will lose some useful load which you can trade off
with smaller tanks and less range if you need the weight.


Could you ex"pound" on this - set the gross weight where you like?

Thanks

As the builder/manufacturer of an ambuilt-experimental you can
absolutely set the max gross weight anywhere you like... Who is to tell
you that a kit that others have built and set at, say 1450lbs is
mandatory for you to do the same.... Of course, a ramp check when you
and your 200lb friend climb out and pull out pull out 200Lbs of camping
gear that's 150lbs over your gross weight will be a problem....

S-LSA and kit E-LSA are regulated as to the min usefull load to combat
just this issue... but ambuilt expermimental is not.

Can a SP built, then fly an ambuilt experimental? I declare it to be
.......1,320 max gross?

I declare it to fly ...138 mph continuous max power, etc. I declare it to
have a stall speed of...

Simple answer, yes....

You don't "declare" it, per-se, but durring your phase one testing you
establish these numbers and enter them in your POH for phase II flying.

If your off a little... probably no problem.. if your "off" alot..
probably no good will come of it.....
