Probably 1/2 of the gross weight is in fuel to feed that hog.

Yeah a 3,000 lb gross weight is way up there huh?

It would be nice if the factory could tell us what kind of modifications
were made for speed and weight increases but Scott B's been mum so I
assume they are operating under a non-disclosure.

flutter problems we might look to see what mods were done to achieve
that even if only for safety...... Kind of a disappointment that they
are going with the tricycle version, but looks like they have their
hands full with a weight issue anyway- probably they will eventually
graduate to something closer to the conceptual drawings sometime in the
future.

	You think the factory did anything to increase its Vne to 250
KIAS?
