No wonder they tried to stop you... it doesn't pass the sniff test and based on history of other operators that put RV's on the register, they frequently flew over-weight, so I'm not surprised they did what they did.

Are you suggesting that you never flew that aircraft over 600 kg's?
It seems a bit out of line to be accusing someone of breaching the rules with no evidence other than your calculator. Perhaps KRAviator only wanted to fly single person, day VFR for shorter flights with the minimum of fuss and bother on the paperwork side. Given he has indicated it is no longer RA Registered then perhaps as their mission changed then they changed to VH reg to remain compliant with the regulations?
