Thanks to all who responded.
My EAB jet empty weight is 895 which was strangely high because my friend with a factory LS-1 has empty wt of 840 and has considerably more equipment (avionics and autopilot) than mine. This 895 number is the same as original wt of plane when equipped with a BRS chute.
I weighed with zero fuel on fancy electronic racing scales. Nick- this after chute removed. My new LSA wing tips are heavier and we put on the steps, B&B interior (lighter than what was in place) plus grnd adjust prop, but I have minimum avionics, and wide track gear.
I'm happy to see others are in the same ballpark.
Thanks again....George André...jet kit #11

Subject: Lightning Jet empty weight
I am doing a survey and would like to know what others have as empty weight
for their Lightnings. I would like to have actual 'as weighed' numbers as
opposed to what the factory has put out. Please check your weight and balan
ce papers and respond to this forum. My plane, that is very sparsely equipp
ed,-comes in at 40 lbs heavier than the factory advertisements. Either my
scales (electronic) are way off or ???? Thanks to all.=0A=0AGeorge Andre
