That's good to know! Most people have recommended not going over 70% of the payload limit for AP but glad to hear you can stretch that a little.
My OTA is actually f/6 though so a fair bit heavier, and my camera is full frame too so also a bit heavier, so think it would be closer to 13kg all up. I'm sure I'll try it one day anyway regardless.
