Thanks Sid and Phil,
My wing panels ( built up from scratch) weight approx. 62.5 lbs each with
everything included ( 10 gallon f/glass tanks, extended tips , nav lights,
tie down ring, double aileron weights for longer than stock ailerons)
Guess I'm stuck with my empty weight as is.
Thanks

weigh 68 pounds each, ready to fly, including outer WAF brackets, AN3 bolts,
aileron, 2.6-pound balance lead, landing light, position & strobe, tie down
bracket, fuel tank vent, fuel gauge sender, quick drain, paint and wing

I believe that the Diehl are a bit heavier. I had stock built on my first
KR, and they were about 40# and these are closer to 50. I would weight them
for you, but they now have a 22# fuel tank in each wing.

Phil,
Is that he complete wing panel with spars, fittings, paint etc.?
Just trying to get a comparison on my built up wings.
I've always thought I could save some weight if I replaced mine with the Dan
Diehl skins ( vacuum bagged) but haven't been able to confirm how much I
could save.
