Default RE: 162

Hey Rick, I'm just guessing.[8D] It will be fully sheeted and glassed with paint. I'll say 60 so that way if it is lighter, that will be a plus. It will still have good performance even at 60lbs.

I have been weighing all the pieces that have been lightened. So far I've saved about 2.5 lbs. Most of that was plywood weight. Now I'm in the lite ply pieces, so there won't be much weight to lose.
Today I lightened some of the lite-ply ribs. So far on rib 7 I saved 1.2 ozs and on 8 about 1.5.( for both wing panels) As long as I can see a meaningful weight reduction, I will lighten more of the lite-ply ribs.

Later,
Kelly
