Didn't someone say he opened a Petrol Station ?.
With regards to the AC500/Aerocom, this aircrafts IFR weight restriction is a performance based figure, the increased VFR weight is based on the airframe and the lesser performance requirement.
There is an Australian operator that has a number of AC500's, they are operated at low levels, VFR at the "increased" weight in a high turbulent environment ( tree tops in hills ), some of these aircraft have upwards of 25,000 TT, the airframe is quite capable of the "extra" weight.
To the suggestions that the "extra" weight for the VFR operation being a CASA initiated increase is not true, i have a copy of the manufacturers manuals and its in there as well.
The aeroplane is not the issue.
