Status: online 		Thats lite I used a BME 115 on MTW75h cans and put only what It took to fly and I still can in at 26 1/2 but this does include 6oz of lead
on the engine box to get the CG just on the front side of the wing tube. They must have used a heavy tree on the one I got or my scale is off. How is the rite way to way a plane. On my smaller ones I just hang them from the prop. But this one I used a string on the formers under the hatch the layed the hatch cross to way it all together.

The plane is like me just a little over weight.

Thanks Mike B

I place the wing tube into the wings. Then I place a old 2' x 1' peace of ply on the sacle and TARE, then just lay the wing/tube assemply on top. I balence the fuse on its nosecone and get it as stable as possible and read the scale, then add the two together. My wings and tube was 6lbs exactly the fuse was 19lbs 13 oz. TTL 25lb 13oz

Status: offline 		My 26lbs 9 was without wheel pants, no pilot figure, a really light Esprit fiberglass spinner and 3 2800 LiIon batteries instead of the 4800's that some are using and no choke servo. That was also with a wood Bunny prop which is a bit liter than with a carbon Prop. It really doesn't matter though -- you will think you are flying a much lighter plane.

Status: offline 		Well it been a while since I have posted here. I have finished the baffle install, mounted the canopy and installed the ignition kill unit. I'm currently wait for the DA85 to return from Da as it went in for the prop hub update. I also have a KS95 rear exit canister and header pipe comming. Here are some pics from the last month or so.

Status: offline 		It was hard to get, required longer lead times, was more expensive and I thought it had a kind of washed out look. The plain blue is more vivid and easier to see, the pearl tended to disappear against a blue sky.
