Subject: Legacy Empty Weights?

Hey Legacy Builders/Flyers,

We've heard there are already about 10 Lancair Legacys flying.  Has anyone
gathered info on their empty weights ?

The L2k specs with an IO-550 show 1500 lbs.  Rick "SuperCharge" Schramek
reports his is 1414 lbs.  At Oshkosh, Lori Edwards & Kent Jackson's showed
1580 lbs on the sign on their propeller.  I never saw them to ask what
options they have that might have added more weight.  Both have IO-550's and
Rick's cool super-charger system adds about 30 lbs.

We're wondering how much useful load we should count on and possibly trade
off against performance enhancements -- e.g. super-charger, air
conditioning, de-icing, etc...
