Great Paint Job

Congratulations on a fantastic airplane. Love the paint job.

How much weight does that add to a plane?
 
I don’t have an exact answer yet

After getting my checkout, the airplane remained in Michigan for an annual and IFR check. One of the items to be accomplished is a determining an accurate empty weight and verifying the W&B numbers. I should have a pretty good idea following that.
 
Congratulations on a great looking plane!
It sure looked good landing at Mettetal (1D2) !
Good job Sean Crooks on flying her cross country.
 
Congrats!

What a great-looking 8A. Obviously I'm partial to 9s, but I've long thought that the 8 was the winner in the looks department. :)
