Default dry weight

Tom,

I was quoting the weight as an example in my post wet as we know 32 ounces of fuel is right around two pounds. (Can't fly without fuel so I count it as a portion of the all up flying weight ) That puts this plane at 21.5 pounds MAX dry. Is this in the ballpark for any of the Giles 202's? (20 to 21.5 lbs dry?)

No manufacturer that I know of quotes weight with fuel, so for apples to apples the dry weight is usually just under 23 lbs.
