Rebel weight increase

[Ken]

I was wondering if anyone in Canada with a Rebel C. of A. above 1900 lbs
would care to share their call sign here or privately to me. MOT has
asked for a couple of examples with my application. I think I know a
couple of probable examples from the archives so I can go with those.
The registered weights available online seem somewhat inaccurate and can
be different than the C. of A. Obviously no one can recommend operating
at an increased weight but the rules allow for an increase and it could
be a significant legal advantage for insurance or enforcement issues on
floats. Not to mention those times when some extra fuel might actually
be safer if other precautions are followed.

thanks
Ken

When I bought mine it just had a new subie installed E81 to EJ22 so I had it
registered for 2000lbs. Had to do the climb test which barely passed. It good
for insurance as if you crash over gross they may deny your claim. Two big
guys leave no room for gas at 1650lbs.
