Van's publishes an empty weight of 1240 lbs. on the RV-14.

What is yours? What do you have installed that may make it heavier? Paint, interior, Auto pilot?, constant speed prop, etc.?
 
Mine was 1267 before paint. Plan to weigh it again soon.
Should have said: dual g3x, stand-by alternator, carbon fiber constant speed prop, full Classic Aero interior with carpet.

Empty weight AND empty CG

It would be nice to know what the CG range is as well as weight from folks. Mine came in at 1236 lbs and 77.5 inches. I'm worried its nose heavy. I have the 14A and full Garmin
