My RV-4 originally came in at 950 lbs before painting.  But that did include
an extra 15 lb battery.  I haven't weighed again since putting in the
Renesis but I think I dropped about 20 - 30 lbs in the process (not just
engine weight change).  Had to reduce the max back seat pax weight.
Airplane had negative stability when flown with old max backseat weight of
240 lbs.
