I am looking at a 1979 C185. It has an empty weight of 2060# which seems very excessive to me- as I am seeing maybe 1800# on the high side for most other planes. Inside is a ton of very old avionics.
Am I going to be able to lighten this thing up or should I look elsewhere? I don't need this to be super light (that's what the cub is for) but don't want something hundreds of pounds heavier than the next heaviest plane- may as well get a light 180 with the same useful load at that point.
