filmsense Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 According to a weighing certificate on my m20j, the empty weight is 1983 lb. It sounds a bit heavy. Is it normal or shall I get it checked. All the previous ones I looked at where about 1830... Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Quote
ArtVandelay Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Unless you had a bigger engine installed, I can't imagine that's correct. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Jeff_S Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Mine is 1887, also with a 3-blade prop and a few avionics extras. 1930 would be a stretch I think. Quote
Bob_Belville Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 My little '66E with I pc belly, speed brakes, bladders, Scimitar prop is 1660 (w/o oil, fuel). (The original factory weight was 1611 w/o oil fuel.) Â I would think a J would be at least 100 # heavier than my factory weight. Quote

I think I have every speed mod, plus speed brakes, and you're correct, 1802, I'm hoping to lose some weight during my avionics upgrade. Quote
