No Doug!,   good job!

But then I've got 325HP and a 76" prop.  Anybody beat that?

I just weighed mine on Tuesday after paint, upholstery, and other various modifications like moving the batteries from the nose to underneath the back seats.  54 + 621 + 620 = 1295 lbs with no usable fuel and no wheel pants.  Can anybody beat that?

Well, I just finished all the weighing of my 173 FGE. I am running all the numbers now to see what I am dealing with. My manual does not show what the Empty CG should be for a 173. I looked on the Velocity website, and I don't even see the W & B section in the on-line manual. Anyone have some reference numbers or point me to where I missed them?  


Thanks, 


Kurt
