Ideas for weight reduction?

[Dave Underwood]

I got the original weight and balance and equip list and compared it to the current weight with "an expert".

We then measured the paint thickness in about 10 places and that explained the weight gain. When the plane was last painted, they did not do a complete strip.

Oh well, I too am fighting the weight gain that comes with age.

New radios, updated wiring and cleaning up years of accumulation under the floor gained most of it back.
