Terry,This is a great opportunity for comparison. My wooden airframe is in my shop withtwo coats of varnish. I haven't yet re-installed the torque tube, instruments,seat belts, gear legs or hardware. It is bare bones wood but the entireairframe is there. If you describe to me what your steel tube fuselage currently has in addition tothe simple structure - (turtledeck, seats, firewall, controls, instruments)I'll weigh mine in exactly the same configuration as I re-assemble for my pre-coverinspection. (Mine is the long fuselage per the plans supplement.). Scott K.

Okay, my turtledeck is attached as are the combings ahead of the rear and front pit and seats. I'll weigh mine at this stage and if you're able to weigh yours at that point we could then make an apples to apples comparison once and for all between wood and steel. If not, I guess the mystery and the debate will continue. Scott Sent from my iPhone> On Mar 29, 2015, at 3:41 PM, "jarheadpilot82" wrote:> mail.com>> > Fuselage only. No gear, seats, turtledeck.

I will also do my best to provide accurate weights at various stages for peopleto have more accurate data to compare.... Worked on the cabaine ftgs today. Alwaysfrustrating to do things again that I thought were finished but the endjustifies the means. It was a beautiful day in the workshop......
