Hello,

As I've been working on my B-17, I've been thinking about how much its gonna weigh. I Think the AMA limit is 55 pounds.

Is that 55 pounds loaded with fuel? Or just the airplane with no fuel?

If I have to get it certified, do I just get it certified once, and forget about it? I don't have to get it certified at every event?

Mine came in at 59.5 pounds with fuel. So if it was without fuel, I know ways to reduce the weigh below 55 without fuel.

Thanks
