G'day,

Thank you.

For those on the list that might have a 7FC, could you give me an idea of your
actual empty weight and cg?

My private email is my three initials as below @ the web address below.

Hey John/David.  Since 7FCs are not all that common, suggest this.  Search "7FC" on Barnstormers.  At the moment there are 3 or 4 listed.  Call or message their owners and they should be able to give you all the needed info.    roger
