lightening a already built airframe
I have two Carden Extra's, one the 26% the other 30%. Both fly and track well! My question though, is has anyone lightened a built plane and how. I'm trying to loose about 10-16 ounces.
Thanks for the help!

RE: lightening a already built airframe
I have seen A guy start to due his Carden CAP If he sees this maybe he will respond. Any way he striped the covering and took A Drimal tool to it. So Airbornesarge if your out there. I hope this or maybe he will help I dont thank it would be to hard, I did it to A 60 size great planes Extra 300 and made the control surfaces bigger, it was A lot of work but it did fly much better. good luck.

Whats up dude! Been in engineer school for the Army. I will find some pictures. That project is a very long one but will hopefully yield good results.

That is something I'm thinking of doing over the winter. I will also do the TOC mods to the tail feathers!
Picture would be great!
Thanks
