First time poster,

I'm trying to figure out what the 701 really weighs, and looking for any tips on
keeping things 
light. It would be great if some of you could post your empty weights (along with
engine 
choice and anything you did that added/subtracted weight).

I also have a couple of specific questions:

1. Regarding the extended fuel option, can someone tell me the complete weight
of 
upgrading to four wing tanks versus the standard two?

side issue: 701 comes with 2 X 10 gallons but how much of that is usable?

2. Did any of you weigh your plane before and then after painting? I'm curious
as to how 
much weight is saved by not painting.

Thanks for help with weights

Right now I'm trying to decide between a 701 and a 750, and in order to do that,
I really need 
to figure out what the "real world" useful load might be.
