Empty, my plane is 732 pounds. I don't put more than 16 gallons in it, so I guess that makes it 828 lbs or so. > a 1200lb plane gross, designed for 900 lb gross, is going to be safe? I think Bill, Marty, and a whole bunch of others before us have already answered that one. It works. Although I wouldn't do any wild aerobatics in it that way, I do know a guy that often pulls 5gs in his 0-200 powered KR2 at way over 1200 lb gross, which is quite a testimony to the design...
