Cy - "W&B" - that's weight & balance, so aren't they looking for a 
weight that is appropriate to the airframe design rules? Or are they 
going to be happy with any old weight you stick on the form? Surely 
the FAA won't accept it if the builder says "I am comfortable for my 
Europa to have a MGW of 3600 pounds", for instance.
