For the e-libelle modification it has to be as light as possible.
I've reviewed 7 w&b bulletins so far and evaluated their damage
history.
If one throws out those lead batteries we'll get to 206kg but not below
200kg... The average is about 215kg, no real correlation with repairs.
Thats almost exactly what mine weighs with a 5.6kg panel fitted. I don't
remember whether batteries were in last time it was weighed. This is an
early 201 Libelle - werk nr 82 - with balsa skinned flying surfaces.
Just checked the docs: 212kg with 5.6 Kg panel, 2 x 7.2AH SLA and an MH
Kevlar reinforced oxygen cylinder fitted.
