John,
If you put helium in the tires/tubes you can realize another savings in weight.....
Best regards,
Zed

John,
Slow. Very slow.
Wings, tail feathers, engine, instruments, etc, are on and engine runs.
Need to do the sheet metal between wings & fuselage, fairing at rudder, and the cowling.
Doors fitted, then removed (they get in the way of progress).
Paint may be much later.
Actually, it is 99% done and 100% left to do.....
I'm 67 and still working 50 hours/week. Probably should decide which is more important!
Regards,
Zed

An old bicycle buddy of mine suggested that instead of buying all manner of titanium bits and bobs for my bike I could save more weight by not drinking beer.
He may have been right, but we no longer speak.

HEY! I ressemble that remark with my ultra lightweight titanium bike!
Aluminum is good enough for my 701, though! LOL
