[Alex Balic]

I think that Dave Bertram has about 400 HP in his with that stroked V8 he is
running..

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
