    That’s a 912 ULS with the airbox with carb heat. Spellcheck gets a little crazy sometimes

    780 lb empty weight with unusable fluids. Ss7, 26" abw airstreaks and tailwheel with t3 spring. Dual controls, adjustable peddles, injected 912 rotax, airmaster constant speed prop, grove gear. Weight is everything! I've heard of ss7's down near 700 lb.

    Phil Lakers clipped wing, carbon everything plane hit 700#. Scott I’m glad to hear you hit 780 with all the goodies you have. If I’m under 825 I’ll be happy, if I’m below 800 I’ll be ecstatic.

    Curious how much a LLE would add to total weight.

    There is no unusable fuel in my plane. Or unusable fluids. Am I missing something? I have a Kitfox model 7.

    There should be a half gallon in each wing tank that’s unusable.


    The LLE is pretty light and without the LLE you need the dense plastic extruded profile piece. I would say they weigh close to the same. Maybe it adds a lbs or two
