Default RE: Mission Impossible? Putting a pattern plane on a diet?
Hi

I know that this questions also comes up a lot when dealing with electric plane setups. After assembling a few OXAI electric planes I found the general rule to be that if the dry weight of the plane (Fuselage, canopy, wings, stab, rudder,landing gear and spats) is more than 2350 grams before equipment is installed you will not make the weight limited without special attention.
