The conversion was MAJOR surgery. Removing the bulkhead that holds the old
wing and installing the new bulkhead and center section was something WAY
beyond my skills. Wally Anderson at Synergy Air in Eugene, OR, did way more
than assist me (actually, I assisted him).
We did many other upgrades at the same time.

How did the wing conversion go? Does it turn out to be major surgery or is
it pretty straight forward?

I bought a flying RV3 with a listed GW of 1175, with an empty weight of 790.
Just finished the conversion to the 3B wing (quickbuild). Haven't flown
much in the past 6 weeks (business travel and trying to track down an oil
leak).
My "3" has an O320-E2D and Catto 3-blade.
Would like to participate in a "registry".
Located North of San Francisco.

Subject: RV3-List: Potential new -3 builder
--> RV3-List message posted by: "Randy Lervold" <randy@rv-8.com>
Having admired the RV-3 for many years now, but having built an RV-8, I am
finally about to take the plunge and order an RV-3 kit. My RV-8 is now gone
and it's time for another project. I'm now in the "due diligence" phase and
have a few questions for you RV-3 guys...
1) What gross weight are you using? The Van's number of 1100 lbs with a 775
lb empty weight leaves a useful load of 330 lbs. Then deducting 180 lbs for
30 gallons of fuel only leaves 150 lbs for the pilot & gear. I'm not a big
guy, but I do weigh 170 with clothes on. I'm guessing many RV-3s are being
flown at 1200 lbs when full up. Please let me know what your empty weights
and gross weights are.
2) I am thinking of putting up an RV-3 web site -- would you guys find a
"registry" listing all builders/owners who wish to be listed, and a few
pertinent facts about each such as power train, empty weights, etc., useful?
