Hi all,
Weighed my -3 today.
760 lbs and 58.54 inches empty C of G
Catto 2 Blade, 0-320-D2, lightweight Grove wheels, Lamb Tires, 4" tailwheel, Carbon Wing Tips, Fillet wing root fittings, slider, Raven Inverted Oil, SD-8 Alternator and Odyssey Battery behind the seat.
Time for some gas and first start !
Happy New Year

Low weight

What a great low weight. N283RV weighs 810, but it does have a big battery and some "stuff."
Good luck.

RV-3 weight

Mine came in at 743lbs, no frills just basic plane. Had to put battery behind seat fot C.G. The lighter they are, the better they fly!!

Wow, that's fantastic. Does it include "everything" though? Seatbelts, paint, oil, etc.? I think you'll like the way it flys with your CG where it is.
 
Hi Randy,
Yes, thats painted and ready to fly less fuel and driver.
Building a -3 is definitely a rollercoaster ride. I'm hoping the payoff is in the way it flies.
