I have been reading the response to the weight limit. Some of the answers shocked me, that some of you would lie about the weight of your plane to keep from going through the wavier process. The wavier is not hard to obtain and is for everyones safety, including yours. it never hurts to have a" qualified inspector to look overyour plane.make sure of your flying ability. My thought is the only pilots who might object to these requirements might not meet the criteria needed for the wavier. My personal opinion is A.M.A. has let the wieght exemption get way out of hand. But, that just my opinion.Smitty
