I weighed the airframe just now and I am at 5.75#. Wing span 48" length 54". The retracts and turbine mount rails are installed.
Part of the prep I do for glassing the fuse is to apply a coat of sandable primer to highlight irregularities in the surface I haven't picked out by feel, then sand it all back off. I like to keep an eye on the weight as I go to keep me mindful not to get carried away with the painting. I'll then put a thin coat of primer under the fiberglass so I'm looking at an even color through the glass as I do the final primer step.
