Keith, yep, the factory can only recommend weight limits. It's up to the 
builder to actually set the max gross weight for that particular plane. 
However, once set at certification, it becomes a legal limitation just like 
a factory built airplane.

  <snip>  I thought that the max gross was recommended by the factory, but 
didn't consider the fact that builders actually publish a number for their 
airplane that is binding for operations.  That's great information, 
particularly for insurance considerations.

  Thanks again for the advice, I intend to heed it. This is a high quality 
list.
