Thanks Sid and Phil, My wing panels ( built up from scratch) weight approx. 62.5 lbs each with everything included ( 10 gallon f/glass tanks, extended tips , nav lights, tie down ring, double aileron weights for longer than stock ailerons)
Guess I'm stuck with my empty weight as is.

Outer wings weigh 68 pounds each, ready to fly, including outer WAF brackets, AN3 bolts, aileron, 2.6-pound balance lead, landing light, position & strobe, tie down bracket, fuel tank vent, fuel gauge sender, quick drain, paint and wing wiring. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe that the Diehl are a bit heavier. I had stock built on my first KR, and they were about 40# and these are closer to 50. I would weight them for you, but they now have a 22# fuel tank in each wing. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC --------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil, Is that he complete wing panel with spars, fittings, paint etc.? Just trying to get a comparison on my built up wings. I've always thought I could save some weight if I replaced mine with the Dan Diehl skins ( vacuum bagged) but haven't been able to confirm how much I could save. Thanks Chris Gardiner KR2S- 220 hours total on GPAC VW2180 Thanks. Youre the first person to give me some useful information. ------------------------------------------------ I have wing tanks and Dan Diehl wing skins They weigh 50 lbs each.
