Is this what you saw? when you click on the "model" hot link????

http://www.landings.com/evird.acgi?p...l&nnumber=84kf

Manufacturer : MUDGE RAY
Model Name : KIT FOX 5
Aircraft Type : Fixed Wing Single Engine
Engine Type : Reciprocating
Aircraft Category : Amphibian
Number of Engines : 1
Number of Seats : 2
Max. Gross Weight : Less than 12,500 lbs
Amateur Certification : Yes
Aircraft Code : 05604P8

Notice it says "LESS THAN 12,500 lbs"....(NOT 1250 lbs) which is the cut-off for "small aircraft"
...And just for the record, my "Aircraft Category" is not, and never has been Amphibian. It's never even seen rain, much less a body of water. Don't know where that came from.

The fact still remains that the term "Gross Weight" is not a relevant term in regards to LSA\Sport Pilot discussion, and, (I say again...) is not used in the FAA Final Rule to determine legal qualifying weight. (Think... and use Maximum Take Off Weight as defined in the Final Rule.
