Another "big day" for my IV...the weight check. Mine with 2200 Jabiru, 

Sensenich wooden prop, and Grove gear came in at exactly 650 pounds, 

and amazingly enough, exactly the weight that I guessed, earning me a 

free lunch from my tech advisor, who was manning the scales. 

Unfortunately for him, he guessed it would be higher. Where does this 

weight fall in the "international competition for the word's lightest 

Kitfox"?  (no Kitfox Lites allowed to enter) : ) The weight was located 

at 301 left wheel, 306 right wheel and 43 for the tail. Incidentally, I 

had sent my Falcon turn coordinator off for repair/ replacement ( RF 

noise), and a can of soup of the correct weight was residing in the 

panel at the time. The means of weighing was a set of digital aircraft 

scales, rented from a nearby FOB.
