Only new types can opt out, but microlights are already 'out'. So, if the microlight manufacturer wants to re-certify at a higher MAUW then he can do that.
So, perhaps I need educating here..
Assuming you are correct, and I have no reason to doubt it, explain to me why a microlight manufacturer would be interested in recertifying a used microlight to a higher MAUW? What is in it for them in doing this to a used aircraft?
