      Jim,
      
      It's already there.  The last 15 or so kits would be able to be built at the
      lighter weight.  Final weight will always depend on additions to the basic
      airframe.  Nice interiors add 8 lbs or so.  Carbon ground adjustable prop
      adds two or three lbs.  Extra paint (pearl, extra stripes, etc) can add 5
      lbs or more.  Extra instruments or EFIS's can add 5 lbs.  Garmin radios
      instead of Becker add 4 lbs.  Auto pilot servo's weigh 3 lbs+ each.
      
      It's easy to make it heavier and a real challenge to make it lighter.
      
      Pete

Re: Empty Weight
      
      
      Hi all,
      
      Speaking of empty weight, have any of the Lightnings built so far had
      the BRS parachute option installed? If so, what was the weight penalty
      and what did it do to the empty balance relative to a comparably
      equipped non-BRS plane?
      
      Thanks for any information you can supply!
      
      Jim Logajan,
      Still just kicking tires.
