On second thought, the weight of the fuel in the wings shouldn't count towards the areobatic weight.
 
Exactamundo.  The official limit is "1050 plus the weight of fuel in the wings".  The unspoken part is whether this allows you to exceed the original 1100 lb gross weight, which was conceived when the plane had a 25 gallon fuselage tank.  Van himself will be giving me a ruling on this very soon.  Also, rest assured that I understand that you can't change the laws of physics by publishing a higher gross weight :-) 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
