I live under Class B. FAR 91.215 (b) says I don't need a
transponder for an aircraft "not originally certificated with
an engine-driven electrical system". I'm interested in the
lightest possible PA-18/150. How many were built like
this by Piper? If you build a new one from parts, can you
get it certificated normal category as a 2003 model with
no electrics? How much lighter is a cub with no starter,
alternator, battery, relay, solenoid, regulator, bus bar,
breakers, switches, wiring, connectors, lights, or antennae?
How low can empty weight go with lightweight everything
and no upholstery and thin finish etc.?
