It's Experimental, and you are the manufacturer. The Gross Weight on thedataplate is whatever you say it is.I think the original was 1090 or something like that. If you go much abovethat it wouldn't hurt to have an engineer look at what you've built.Impossible to say without seeing what changes have been made to the design.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----
