When I bought the plane, it already had the Continental on it and the builder/previous owner had removed the weight. Yet it was still tail heavy. A steel tube fuselage is not lighter than a wood one. If anything it is heavier. Before I added the battery, the empty weight with the Cont. was 670 lbs. Bill Rewey's wood Piet weighs significantly less with the same engine. ----- Original Message -----
