I will try to answer Jims questions as best that I can.

My main protocol during this whole process was and still is.. First. I
want safety and durability. second comes weight and a close third is
cost. Keeping it in those confines has served me well and kept me
alive,,, so far G




As I recall you posted on the RV-list one time that your airplane
was over weight and scary to fly?

All I state is the facts. My plane is heavier then the factory 801
simply because it has more options on it. I NEVER said it was
overweight................... As for scary, if I posted that during
the first few hours of my test flights in my plane then, yeah, I was
for sure leary of the outcome. That experience has made me a better
pilot and hopefully a better person. When you test fly an overpowered,
one of a kind aircraft you will understand, until then just chill out
and enjoy what some of us do to advance aviation..

Actually, most homebuilts are slightly "chubby" and a longer equipment list
is one of the three most common reasons--the other two being slightly larger
engines and fancier interior and exterior finishes.

In any case, the term "overweight" would be preposterous since you would
seem to have sufficient authority to reduce the usefull load, document the
performance (and strength if appropriate) to a higher maximum weight, or any
combination of your own choosing.

I plea guilty to all three of the charges...
