Maximum Landing Weight
Because most light twin engined aircraft landing weights are determined by structural considerations and not stall speed, most VG kits only increase the take-off weight available and not the landing weight. In these cases increasing the landing weight requires either structural modifications or else re-testing the aircraft to demonstrate that the certification requirements are still met at the higher landing weight.

We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
