Online Community of Zenith Builders and Flyers
Hello all,
I saw a Ch701 on amphibs for sale recently, a coworker actually showed me the add off of barnstormers if my memory serves correctly.
The aircraft was advertised as having a 1400lb max gross. I am wondering for those in the know how this is achievable? what modifications must be made to the airframe to achieve this?
for the sake of Canadian regulations and my own personal aircraft I do not wish to modify my existing plane, however, I am very curious how this individual is getting the extra 300lbs out of the 701.
thanks for any insight,
Mike.

I suspect they were being a bit cagey by using design test weight instead of recommended gross weight.
Thanks for the insight. Clearly an 1100lb 701 is well within the safety margins!
