Thanks for the data point, Rich. This list has debated the figures for some time and I appreciate you taking the time to actually check it out. Mr. Weick was indeed ahead of his time. I still treasure his autobiography. I bought it and got it signed by all 3 of his kids at the EOC 2000 meeting in College Park.

Bare wing panel with one coat of epoxy primer was 43 lb.. The same wing after covering with Superflite system VI was 53 lb.. Net gain of 10 lb.. Measured twice with two different scales that were checked with a known 45 lb load. Hard to imagine that a pair of wings that light could lift the aircraft. Fred sure knew what he was doing.
