Thanks for the responses.

 I am looking at a 701 that has the 960 spar. It has  many of the 1100 updates, but it was too late to change the spar. I am not a  builder, but I guess that it might be difficult in this case to know  exactly what the actual gross weight would be.

Damien,

  

 I had the same problem.  When I bought my kit  it was about five numbers away from the new SP kit.  So I had the new plans  but the old kit.  I made as many changes as possible but didn't change the  spars.

  

 I just had my 701 inspected on Tuesday by the FAA  and made the first flight on Friday morning.  I listed my gross weight as  1100 lbs. with a G rating as +3.5 and -1.7.  This is the same load factor  as 960 lbs. and the factory approved +4 and -2 G's.
