We got weighed in this afternoon. The coolest of digital scales from a buddy that works on King Airs, Citations etc... Man these are nice scales.

We did it right... all fluids, wheel pants, gear leg fairings, spinner, seats... everything! All inspection covers were included.

Nose: 270 lbs
Right: 394 lbs
Left: 395 lbs

Total Weight: 1059 lbs

Not bad, we worked on light from the start... looks like we have a winner!

What model plane?

That would be a 7A.

Paint?

Is she painted? What engine and prop? My 6 came in at 1095 with paint.

Darrel, that is a DARNED GOOD for a -7. My ole' 6 was 1058 and I was pretty proud of that for a fully painted and interiored bird.

Well Done - the weight speaks!

Cheers,
Stein
