You better hope it's not at 1400! If so you'll need to hook up a couple of strings to the wings and fly it in circles while you're on the ground. Under 900 sounds nice and naturally the lighter the better!

Actually, it may way weigh less as I removed some heavy flight instruments as well as the venturis and all related hardware. Keep your fingers crossed.

I'd be interested to know what it weighs when completed.

My friend Lynn Nelson and I flew her back from Arizona to Florida together. She was in very nice shape, painted white with a red stripe. In early 2007 I had her repainted black and white and had a new interior installed. All along I was using her to each people with handicaps to fly. In March of 2007 she suffered a very hard landing at the hands of a student. He was not hurt but she was very badly damaged. I bought a replacement fuselage as it was more economical that fixing the old one (at least when you are paying an A+P by the hour). Engine was overhauled and a new prop was purchased. Lots of improvements were implemented during the 9 month rebuild process. That's nine months full time by the A+P! I hope to fly her for the first time next week. It's very exciting. I have loaded about 190 images on a website of the plane prior to the paint job, after the paint job, immediately after the damage and during the rebuild. They are not labeled or in any real order yet but if you have nothing to do, take a look.
