I haven't weighed this plane, but I think it is heavy......It seems in shifting thru the cobwebs, I can remember making a serious boo--boo with it in the painting phase. In the days when K&B Superpoxy paint was King I was in a big hurry ( had to be somewhere, like work ) one day to get the wing painted. I mistakenly mixed "Clear Coat" with the yellow thinking it was the
catalyst. Didn't think I would ever admit to that one 
, but on returning a day later and finding the paint still wet, (imagine that!) what would any really smart guy do?
Well, spray straight catalyst over the paint of course
. It appears to be cured out now.....
I probably will not change this little error and keep her the way she is and fly her heavy. In a way, it would be a shame to change anything at this point. I'll fly her with the 480 before building a new cowling as it may need a bit more power because of this....will weigh her out and see.
