Guess N14SE's weight and win a 23K gold leaf cleco

[newtech]

My RV-7A "Sky Terrier" is going on the scales Saturday for its official weight and balance numbers. Send me an e-mail with your guess of what you think Sky Terrier's empty weight (with 8 qts. oil) will be. The person guessing the weight, the closest, wins a 23K gold leaf cleco.

Tight schedule for the next several weeks. Going to Louisville, Georgia for transition training the 22nd. Looks like the FSDO will be able to do the airworthiness inspection early next month. This project started August 31, 2001 when the first part of the horizontal stab went on the H jig. Hard to believe it is almost a real airplane.

with or without pants and fairings?

Without pants and fairings. It took everything in me to finish the paint before flying. The pants and fairings will just have to wait

 

[tinman]

1090 lbs is my uneducated guess

 

[godspeed]

1092# pounds, no fair changing your number above

[CNEJR]

1101 lbs. my guess

 

[caryr]

I'm going for 1057.

But you should really just go ahead and 'stack' the wheel pants and fairing on the legs and wheels before weighing. Then you won't have to do it again.

 

[Geico266]

1085 is my guess.

 

[Larry Brown]

1077 is my guess.

 

[Mel]

1123 lbs. Not including added words to make post work.

Instead of one gold cleco, can I have a couple hundred regular ones?
