RE: The Katz Meow
I had to know how much the fuselage side weighed. So I rough cut it on the band saw.
It weighs 1.1 ounces. I don't think the 6 ounce cloth added more than a tenth or so and the side is very stiff for what it is.
I will probably stay with the basswood and extend it from 6" to 8" just so the front wing hold down is fully supported by it.
The Smasher is still my main stream offering. But this plane is a cool option. Some people have asked about other kits listed on my Q-500 kits page. Yes, there are even more kits coming.
