Q: I've downloaded your sample flight manual supplement. Why should I pay you, since I now know my airplane's performance at the higher weight?
A: Because you are an honest and experienced pilot. You realize that deliberately operating your airplane at weights over 2950 pounds without our STC is a clear violation of several Federal Aviation Regulations, is contrary to your insurance policy, and exposes you to great liability in case of a ramp check, incident, or accident. To risk your pilot's license, or worse, for the sake of saving $750 is not the kind of decision a prudent pilot would make.
Besides all of that, we worked very hard and invested a lot to bring this STC to market. We'd like to think most pilots would appreciate that.
