Steen says the Skybolt empty weight ranges from 980-1280 lbs. Does anyone know of a Skybolt that really weighed that little. I'd love to hear how it was configured/built.

The single-place LSA Skybolt on this forum had an empty weight of either 1030 or 1050. It wasn't intentionally built to be extremely light.

I'm interested in a low-powered and extremely light weight machine and would like to hear about any that have been built that way.
