Anyone out there know if it is possible to put floats

		   The Arion Aircraft development team has been working

 hard to reduce the

 empty weight of the basic Lightning.  We have found

 new core materials and

 new methods of fabrication that reduce weight but

 maintain the strength of

 the structural components.  We have redesigned some

 of the non structural

 components as well to make them lighter.  Based on

 the empty weights of

 recently completed Lightnings we are reducing the

 empty weight specification

 by 25 lbs to 775 lbs.  Builders can achieve this

 weight for a Lightning with

 VFR instruments, Becker Radios (they are light),

 minimal interior finish,

 and a wood prop.
