Seems the plane wasn't a pig... the engine was a dog...

The Vision would provide you with an airframe to more easily balance with the Moki... While I don't know the weight of the Moki 2.1... The DA with muffler, ignition & battery is somewhere around 4+ lbs... You might even save a little more than 1.5 lbs...

I went through as much lightening as I could and am projecting 15-15.5 lbs all up... CF gear, tailwheel, spinner, lions... Seems it might be possible to get it at 14 or maybe just under??? with the Moki... but only if you go through all the motions...
