CASA recently advised that some LSA Texans built by Fly Synthesis in Italy have been found to be in excess of 100Kg over their factory published empty weight.
Would you have a source for that? While on the one hand the a few Italian manufacturers have a bad reputation for "creative" interpretations of the weight figures, 100 kg seems quite a lot for "creativity".

And I have heard testimonies - by importers! - confirming @Fl1ingfrog 's story of weight figures shifting along their trade path.
