Guys. Looking for tips on building a very light Cassutt. My goal is to build the lightest Cassutt possible without re-engineering the plane.

So let's hear your thoughts. I'd like to cover every possible square inch of this airplane from light weight finishes to light weight washers and everything in between. Firewall forward? Everything. Cowling? If I have to hand shape it from aluminum I will. I want this LIGHT.

There's a lot of smart people on this board, I'd like to hear from everyone possible even if it's just an idea.

Thanks, Scrap.
