New Whiplash Flies from launcher
Mike,
You are correct. I've included the weight of a 9 x 4 APC plus a 2 gram correction, since I don't have my 8.8 x 9.25 and 8.8 x 9.75's yet. Here is a list of the components weighed on an electric scale, in grams. This scale is accurate to within 1 gram.
The weight is .56oz over my previous post, I forgot about a couple of items when I posted that 4lb, 2oz post. The new weight should be 4 lbs, 2.56oz, dry weight.
The fuel tank is surprizingly heavy. I also don't have any protective foam rubber added on the list, or any adhesive for the fuel tank. Those are unknowns at this time.
Sanded airframe, spot filled ready to prime: 866g
V-tail unit: 68g
Hitec 555 rec'vr: 24g
factory carbon pushrod set: 24g
Sullivan S557 metal control horn set: 4g
2, MPX Royal digital, dual ball bearing servos: 92g
1, Hitec 225BB throttle servo: 26g
factory 6oz fuel tank, complete: 54g
Dave Brown pipe mount: 4g
hatch cover: 10g
factory hardware set: 20g
stock MACS 1140 7.5cc pipe: 66g
720 maH , 5 cell NiMH 6v batt pack: 68g
APC 9 x 4 prop(dont have the 8.8x9.75yet) 22g
Heavy duty MPX nylon servo arms: 4g
tuned pipe coupler: 16g
Paint, est 5 oz: 142g
On/Off switch, custom wiring, very small: 8g
Fuel line, estimated: 18g
throttle linkage: 10g
Total: 1546g
1546g = 3 lbs, 6.56 oz + Jett 50 FIRE = 4 lbs, 2.56 oz, dry weight
I really hoping the paint job will turn out a little lighter than my estimate.
I'll post the weight of the painted airframe with nothing installed after the paint cures, as well as my final weight.
