Hello to those that responded, Would you mind sharing your empty weight? Thanks much Billy
Re: lycoming or continental builders?
Mine with IO-240B is 952. More of an issue though is having a fat passenger, or if I ate too
much breakfast ...

Currently 893#.
It started around 886#, but I have added autopilot servos and ADSB out since new. I worked hard during the build to keep it light. The EWCG was managed by doing several things to lighten the front end and locating the avionics & battery in the tail. I have since upgraded to an EarthX battery up front, but needed to leave the 15# Odyssey battery in the tail for W&B purposes. Hopefully when I install the T3 tailwheel spring and move my tool kit to the tail I can remove the battery and shave another 10# from the EW.

This thread has many installations of the larger engines. I found it when I was curious about the forward wing speed.
