Varieze element weight

[LoicFR]

Hi, I'm looking for a used Varieze here in France. Not a lot are for sell. I found a good looking one, but strangely heavy (345kg, O-200), also strangely "nose" heavy.

The engine cowlings are super heavy, wich also doesn't match with a nose heavy aircraft.

To compare with other varieze, do some people have their elements weight ?

Wings

Canards

Engine cowling

fuselage etc.

Thanks

If you are serious about this aircraft you need to get someone to weigh it all 3 of the gear that will give you  a start to figuring out where the cg is. Weigh it with no fuel/ oil. Good luck.
