I'm in at 1055. Being hopeful for Ya!

Were the BW's and Borer prop included in that original empty weight? Did it come with the 3" extended gear it looks like you've got?

With 82" Borer, 0-320, 31's, baby bush, 3" extended gear, extended baggage, assuming starter etc.

My guess: 1135 (hope its lighter )

1090. Looks like you took out a bunch of weight! Looks a lot better than then when it left lubbock!

The original weight was on 31's 3" gear borer and no spinner


Here are some of my weights


Tail Clean out 13.5 oz
Cf 9.0 -4.5

Under seat storage
Dakota 4lb 7.1 (71.1oz)
Cubcrafters 3lb 2.2 oz
Cf 15.4oz
Cf lid 12.8 oz
Cf 1.76lbs

Seat back 1lb
Stock seat back 5.20
Stock seat springs 1.30lbs

Pulley covers 2.8
Cf 1.8 -1

Spinner w backing plates 2 lb 5.2oz

Front floor board

Rear floor board

Atlee headliner 4.70 lbs

So the cf didn't loose a lot of weight, I didn't do the baggage floor yet, as I'm unsure if I'm going to do the 180lb baggage.
It flys completely different. Much lighter in the nose.
It gets off and climbs so much better. Have to re learn how to fly it now.

I love the cgr and the trig radios. Hell I will never get rid of this airplane. Like it way to damn much.

I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see that cub in the hands of someone who is enjoying it as much as Don did

Sense this airplane can't talk, I'm going to have to come out sometime and hear all about it. I was talking to Ron, who flew with don and this cub a lot. He has some stories. I still want to know what happened to the left wing. I'm sure there is a good story that goes along with the damage I found.

And the final E/W is..... ?

Getting closer...

It came in well under my goal of 1100

1096

Ok ok I won't keep you guys waiting any more

Wow! That is awesome Tom, congrats what a sweet ride [emoji106]

So....my guess was 1079 lbs., the closest? What do I win?

Good deal Tom, weigh to go.

Old empty
1149
CG 12.98

New empty
1077
CG 13.52

That's an impressive weight savings. Good job!

Nice work on the weight savings!

Tom do you have a field approval for that Catto prop that you could share I would love to get one approved for my airplane too.

I think that's a Borer painted to look like a Catto. [emoji6]
