Mario: you are in luck! I have the wings off of my airplane and it will be fairlyeasy to weigh them. The right and left wings are almost identical exceptone has the tubing for the pitot tube (airspeed indicator) inside it. They arecovered and painted and have all metal fittings attached and aileron cablesinstalled.The only way that I can weigh them is with bathroom scales. I have two digitalbathroom scales in the hangar so they will not be exact, but I may try to checkthem with something of a known weight (like a concrete test cylinder), thenI will weigh them and post the results here. I probably will not have a chanceto do it until Saturday.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 3 piece wing 1 wing weight

Greg, does your center section have a fuel tank? If so, what is it made of? It won't be too long before I'll be ready to cover and paint and can't decide on a center section tank or one in the front seat compartment. Chuck ----- Original Message -----
