Hey, Ray, what do you mean calling my baby UGLY??? :-) :-) My baby should have ribbons in her hair by Gathering time. I have a set of 500X5 wheels/brakes/etc ready to install and my Van's new style wheel pants should be delivered tomorrow. I also have vinyl stripes (6"X 138") that I will be putting on the fuselage after I do a repaint of my left wing, cowl, and wheel pants. I've been having too much fun flying (140 hours now) to take it out of service to finish it up. As to your weight, Ken Rand's KR weighed 480 pounds and it was really bare bones. Get a good set of scales and make sure everything is level when you do the weigh-in. Anyone that can put a KR on the line at 550 pounds or less has really accomplished something in my opinion. I was shooting for 650 pounds, would have been happy at 700,and finally came in at 765!! Were you intending to say 350 +350 + 30 = 730 pounds at this point? Keep us posted......... Larry Flesner
