What was weighed?

This is the hull as of September 2006; nestled into my humble Cootery (a former one-car garage).

Note that I have removed the main landing gear crossover tube and assist springs so that I can get to work on the retraction system.

Temporary aluminum "bullets" are serving as main gear down-locks and a small vice grip clamp is holding the nosegear link in the down over-center position

Current hull weight as shown: 313 pounds

There is a ton (okay, hopefully not a ton) more to go on, but it's nice to know where I stand with the basic hull. Hopefully, keeping it visible on the web site will keep me mindful of weight-creep.

313 pounds
