RV3B Gross Weight

The Vans website list the RV3 gross weight at 1100. Is there a different weight for normal and aerobatic operations like on the RV4? If so, what is the aerobatic gross weight for the -3?
 
Yes. I put the operating limitations in this thread.

Note that an empty weight below 750 pounds it possible, with an IO-320 and electrical system and avionics. Andy Hill did it, with very, very careful attention to weight as he built the airplane.
