My Rebel on wheels with the 0320 was orginally at 925 pounds, and
that was with a Warp Drive prop and bungee gear. My empty weight
on the 1800 amphibs was originally 1200, but came out at 1250 on
my last weighing, which I now use for my weight calcs when I go
flying. But that also includes now a metal prop, survival gear,
probably a few pounds of water trapped in my floats, grease in my
wheels, paddle, other crap in my cabin, etc, etc.

And if I remember correctly, my empty c of g was about 10.6 both
on wheels and on the amphibs. It didn't change by more than about
.1. But that includes my survival gear stuffed into the tail. It
was 9 point something before that. I have an Odyssey battery
mounted forward of the firewall.

With that c of g, I can load it up real good with pax, fuel and
baggage, and it flies just fine. My climb goes way down, but
doesn't seem to hurt speed too much.
