This illustrates what I am trying to say, obviously without success. In the Seminole's case the flap strength is a significant factor. In a KR we don't know, therefore to fly above grossly above gross is risky IMHO especially if turbulence is encountered. I think a lot of KR owners fly above gross to some extent but I'd be interested in hearing from any who have gone to 1300lbs...any takers!!
