    Depends upon the engine, but check the variance between actual and advertised on existing Great Planes Products.

    Status: offline     		I saw the latest advertisement in MAN and loos like a 1 piece wing. It also looks like the wing is permenantly mounted to the fuse . Does any one know if this is the case ?

    Status: offline     		I E-mailed G Planes with some questions and asked if it is a bolt on wing and they said YES, it is a one piece, bolt on wing and can be removed for transportation. I've got one on order and G planes is saying they will have them in stock on Aug. 19th. We'll see!

    Status: offline     		Tim, I thought the same thing at first. If you go to Great Planes web site and double click on the photo of the unassembled parts (to enlarge photo) you can barely see small seams where the bottom of the fuse comes apart. This looks like a great plane but I' still leaning to the Extase as it looks like it comes in a 1 1/2 lighter for $30 more.

    Status: offline     		Am wondering how much lead you might have to put in the nose to keep it in CG. AT 68 inches long and with three servos in the tail ( 2 elevator, 1 rudder) this plane could weigh in well over the advertised weight, even with a heavy engine.
    Great looking plane, I think it will be a winner for GP.
