The increase in gross weight and VNE doesn't make much sense. Shorter wing, beefier spar with more overlap simply seems more conducive to better load carrying and integrity. I read elsewhere on this forum that someone had asked folks at Vans as to why they increased gross weight on the 7 and they were told it was because of so many folks successfully doing it on the 6 without issues. Is the VNE increase simply a result of more comfort level at Vans due to Long term side by side experience which didn't exist when the 6 debuted?

Thats sounds like a popular theory.
