So just scratching the surface of being introduced to the Cub family; never flown in one & looking very forward to it . I've been checking out all the different specs & equipment & I keep finding myself having the same question. I recognize that the Carbon Cub SS is an LSA & therefore shows a max gross of 1,320lbs - I also recognize that the builds of comparably equipped FX models have a gross of 2,000lbs. They both appear to share the same airframe, engine, equipment etc.
So the question is this - real world, do owners of Carbon Cub SS's use the 2,000 lbs as gross for your SS or do you restrict yourselves to the 1,320? Also regarding the 180hp for 5 minutes, again, do you restrict yourselves to this figure if you're flying an SS or since I believe it to be the exact same engine as the FX - do you operate it as such?

Thx for any and all feedback - looks like really neat airplanes regardless
