Group,

I was wondering what range of empty weights the finished airplanes (IV-P's) 
are having.  We have done a preliminary weighing of our IV-P with TSIO-550, 
Hartzell prop and AeroCool air conditioning and are coming in around 2400 
lbs.  I asked Charlie Kohler what he was seeing and he mentioned that 2250 
lbs was the "norm", but I didn't mention air conditioning when I asked the 
question.

I also saw a post from Jeff Liegner some time back and noted that his gross 
weight was 3800 lbs, which is what I had in mind.

So, I would appreciate any input from you guys who have "been there - done 
that".  Sounds like I built a "heavy" airplane, but not much I can change 
now - except build another one!  <grin>

Thanks in advance.
