Everett Hatch achieved (in Alan Tolle's airplane) a lighter weight than most
builders are likely to duplicate.  If you can do this, that's great. I can
only tell you that among us "shade tree" builders, the 13B and all systems
come out about as much (or slightly more) than the O - 320.  Mine is at the
light end of the spectrum at about 340 lbs.  FWF.  Others have come out as
much as 100 pounds more.   It takes CONSTANT vigilance to keep the weight
down.
