REFLECTOR: empty w&b elite FG 173/lw

[Robert Wood]

Don't worry about it. Maybe a longer TO roll, a bit higher TD speed, but all is well. CG is more critical anyway. Remember, you test it and establish the allowable gross wt. The V can handle it and you will very seldom operate at gross anyway. Love it and enjoy it!!

I am using a rotary which is supposed to be comparable to a 360. I also have a turbo and A/C which easily explains part of the weight above the standard 1300 lbs but not by any means all. Yikes.
