UPDATE:
I have reweighed the airplane, just to give me a ball park idea, and this is what I have so far:
this is the weight, of the fuselage, covered, and with painted cowl and canopy. With the landing gear, with the wheels (no pants), with the CDI and motor installed, with stabs and rudder. Does not include fuel tank, batteries, wings, and the rudder and stabs are not covered yet.
To reach a target weight of 42 pounds, I have room for 6.7 pounds, which is impossible. (wings,servos, batteries, fuel tank).
The wings, I estimate, will at least be 3 pounds and 4 ounces (x2 = 6.5 pounds) with the servos.
we will see....
More to come later....
