Default RE: Electric Focus 2

Thanks Don, and congrats on Romilly, a fantastic achievement even without a borrowed airplane...

I have the batteries and all the equipment except for the motor, still on back order... I am thinking about saving some weight with a lighter gear and wing tube. I can't seem to find a 7/8" carbon tube though. The nice thing about a wood airplane is the ability to 'hog' out some weight if it's going to be a problem... but in this case, you are right, there really isn't all that much to cut out or remove. I'll do what I can.

Looking forward to starting the project, but I just want to ensure that I come in under weight. I already have made my battery investment, not willing to plunk down another paycheck for the 'latest and greatest' quite yet.
