On the "Other Airplane" topic, a couple of other guys also stated they liked their 180/185's. TJ says his '53 180 weighs #1496, 85Mike just says "light" 185. My 180, according to Cessna, is the identical weight as 85Mike's '67 185, at #1565. I'm here to tell you, my plane, which isn't full of a bunch of flashy radio gear, is closer to #1800. Next week, I'm having a new weight and balance done, on certified scales, with actual equipment. I will report the calculated (old) empty weight, and the new (accurate) empty weight. Has anyone else done a real W&B on anything other than a new rebuild? How did the actual weight compare to calculated? I've avoided this because I really didn't want to know, but my mechanic says it's time. How much DOES your plane weigh?
