I'm sorry Jack's plywood cracked. I have no idea what an empty Arrow
weighs.

Empty weight is 1616 lbs, probably had another 75 lbs worth of gear in
the plane as well as gas. Call it 1900 lbs for a round number. Plywood
was very old and really looked like 1/2 inch to me. Didn't measure it,
found it on the back side of the hanger (read: it was free). Left it at
Oshkosh (mainly because the plane was already packed when we rolled it
into the aisle prior to engine start). At any rate, the plywood was a
*great* idea. I think I need to put an order in with the MontBlack
manufacturing company. The guy is an artist when it comes to working
with pressure treated wood.
