<p>That sounds about right. My Viking 130 Cruzer came in at 888lbs empty and I have no paint yet, lightweight carpeting, dual header tanks behind the baggage area, minimal avionics(dual lithium batteries), and Viking cabin heat. I registered at 1440, but probably should have gone 1500 also.</p>

<p>I am intending to register at 1500. I talked to Roger at Zenith and with the new Cruzer kit, and the CG range I will have, while it will drop the ultimate Max G's down a bit, it should be safe and it is in the builders discretion to register it that way. I would rather register and test it that way then cowboy it like I have seen some do. If you start breaking the rules, then when you do your W&B you are either always facing that decision, or avoiding facing it and not doing W&B…</p>
