Ray, What is your empty weight? Which prop? 3 cyl or 4? Thanks John

My Pegastol, Suzuki powered CH701 is finally done. I am waiting my flight authorization to arrive (after a bit of a mixup). It will be faxed to me in a couple of days. I expect to be airborne by Saturday, weather permitting. I will post some real numbers as soon as I get them.

708 pounds (heavier than I expected) including the unusable fuel.
3 blade Ivo patriot (light) in_flight adjustable
4 cylinders
Also relevant to the weight is that I have a heater/fan assembly in the cabin that is attached to the coolant lines.
It is painted.
I was expecting it to be lighter but when I re-looked at Dedalius's (Pegastol's) example W&B calclations, their empty weight was either 660 or 680 pounds (I don't recall exactly). They built 2 prototypes one had a 912 and the other a 582 so I'm not sure which applied. So maybe with the heavier Suzuki engine assembly and the in-flight adjustable prop, maybe I did not come that much too heavy. Pegastol wings are heavier than the 701's.
