I tried to create my Rutan LongEZ New Aircraft based on the C172, but the min empty weight for an aircraft based on that airframe is 1000 lbs, and the LongEZ is only 730 lbs.
Requesting Rutan LongEZ profile:

“NOTE: Max continuous cruise speed (161 knots true) is obtained at 8000 feet altitude with full throttle (2840 rpm, 6.7 gal/hr.) A good economy cruise condition is 2550 rpm at 12,000 feet altitude (50% power, 4 gal/hr) resulting in a true air speed of 137 knots.”
Q: Is there a lighter craft in the supported profile list that I could use as a base for my LongEZ?
