The OEM will follow the entire load path, where an STC applicant may not. Expand Something changed as the Long Body evolved... The first LB, M20L (PFM), has a weight limit based on its legs and feet... The next LB, got new legs... M20M. They are beautiful... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic or a leg man... maybe a LM...
