DA42 and minimum flight mass

I'm currently doing my MEI in the DA42 and according to the POH, the plane have a minimum flight mass of 3329 lbs. It does not say anything about the reason for having a minimum flight mass, but my guess would be that it's becuase of Vmca. The lighter the airplane, the higher the Vmca.
Are anyone in here familiar with the plane, and know anything about this?
Thanks!
