The plane is back in the trailer and ready. I weighed it yesterday evening and it came in at 43lbs, did not think it was that heavy and it definitely don't fly like it. The Eagle is 48lbs and has a ton of scale components, an extremely heavier engine, and much heavier covering. Just goes to show one never knows.
I don't think there is much more to post about on this bird so unless someone specifically ask for something I might not be back. Maybe after next week, and then Nall, I'll get back on covering the Challenger.
Thanks to everyone for their advice, support, and comradery.
