I weighed my S-1S today. When it was built back in '79 it weighed in at 766 lbs (according to the paperwork and dataplate). Since then it had a few items installed to include an alternator, battery, starter, and associated wiring, switches, and solenoids. There is some paperwork that says it weighs about 810 lbs following the electrical additions.
I'm the kinda' guy that likes to know what I have so I broke out my Intercomp Racing scales to see if the plane put on any more weight
. It came in at 818 lbs with no fuel, just oil.
When I was shopping for my Pitts I saw many that were well above the 850 mark. Last weekend I attended the Ohio IAC Championships and there was a real pretty 'T' model there but it weighed in at over 950 lbs.
I take it mine is about the norm but, now I'm curious of some of the MT weights of your single seaters.
