The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[Jetpainter]

Yup, been there done that. My 35% PAU Extra was a complete pig. 31 pounds on the dot. And I did zero additions. And yet my Pilot Edge with the exact carbon copy mirrored image set up came in 2.5 pounds lighter. Figure that one out. I have been on the other side of the coin with exhaust systems. Like you, I hated the noisey stock exhaust. But I am finding a new appreciation for it on some setups. I kind of like that 70 twin on the Pitts with stocks. Lol

That sounds like the difference between my 30% Pilot Edge and my Aeroworks Extra 300. Same engine, header, radio, servos, batteries, fuel tank, and even wheels. The ONLY difference was the Extra had a tuned pipe and the Edge had a can. Pilot Edge 17.5 pounds Aeroworks Extra 19.75 pounds. That's a huge difference on a 30% airplane.

No doubt. Wow.

So me thinks @Xpress is working on a secret military sib space orbiting huckship. The kind you toss at the planets and miss. Why else would he be so mysterious? Hmmm!!!

All these weights we are talking about this is on 35% planes with 120cc size engines. So what would the ideal weight be ???? Lbs (or what is weight of a good 3D plane.)
And on a 30% plane with 85cc or 100cc what would the ideal weight be ???? Lbs.
What I do know is that a 25% plane with a 50cc engine must be 14 lbs and less if you can.
