I am new to the site and forums and enjoying the heck out of all the good information.
I am looking to buy a RV-6A with a iO-360 and FP prop and noticed it's Empty Weight is 1,168.40 pounds and of course, Gross Weight at the factory listed 1650 pounds. This leaves only 481 pounds Useful Load. At 38 gallons fuel capacity that leaves about 253 pounds for the wife and me. With these numbers I would need to get a new wife or drop fuel.
What is a typical Empty Weight for an RV-6A?
Is the stated Empty Weight of 1168.4 a concern?
