880 pounds with instruments and parachutes
The retractable train with the hydraulic control unit weighs around 33 pounds more than the original aluminum
30 pounds are in the reinforcement of the wings because the plates are 3 inches in the socket with 5 screws and 1.5 inches at the tips.
It also has another 10 pounds in the double control by horns.
8 pounds to greater in the change of control of cables to lever.
Shortly I will send summary photos of all the changes.
I am happy with the first tests and I will send you the final results when we finish the adjustments.
