Hi Normand
My empty weight is on the high side too. It's at 659 lbs. no exterior paint which should add 20 to 25 lbs. Now I'm adding a spinner and a 1.5 inch spacer which will add 4.5 lbs. A friends 701 with Rotax 912s and painted weighed in at 620 lbs. I also have four fuel tanks which adds about 16 lbs. The C of G is in the right place. I licensed mine at 1175 lbs. to give me a better useful load.

Hi Ken,
Very nicely done ! Question if I may ? How is your empty weight and your weight and balance ?
Asking because my empty weight is Higher than I would like but my CofG is right in the range...
