    Status: offline     		For lightening mods i used a carbon wing tube from DA, PBG Composites its 2.42 oz the stock tube is heavy at 7.45 oz.
    I cut the floor of the canopy to save some inexpensive weight. I also got a smaller gas tank, 24 oz tank. The spinner is a tru turn 3.5 has the lite back plate. Everything else is stock. For my electrical im using all Fromeco (1)2600 mah for ignition with reg. and a full redundat system 2 2600 mah 2 reg and 2 switches. It came in at 16 lbs. dry without, minus the smoke system and pilot.

    Status: offline     		nice!!! I like the way you put the smoke system in it. The 16Lbs was with or without the smoke system the previous post was a little confusing. 16lbs is good was that on a digi scale? also could you take a pic of the back plate on your spinner i am getting ready to order a new spinner and talked to tru turn and they said the lite back plate wouldnt fit on a 50. just want to see how the spacing is.

    Status: offline     		Awesome i think i will be ordering the lite plate as long as there is enough beef to maintain the strength. Im going to a 3 blade mej because of sound concerns with my DA and a supersonic pitts muffler im hitting 103db on a MX 23x8 and las year was getting 98db on a mej 22x8 so i figure ill give a 3blade a try. THis thing look wicked with the 3 on it

    I highly doubt with the 1.8 the plane comes in at 13.5lbs. I have the 2.1 and I am sitting at 15.5 and the 2.1 only weighs a few ounces more. The lightest reported weight, as mentioned earlier in this thread was ~14.8lbs. I have stock everything and even if I went with CF wing tube and tailwheel, it would only drop the plane weight by ~1/3 lb. If you get down to 13.5, let me know how you did it. However, the 1.8 should pull the plane fine. Buddy of mine has the 1.8. We compared that engine to my 2.1, both with 5% nitro and 20x6 zinger and both were pulling ~7600. Maybe his is broken in more, but still darn strong enough.

    Flew my cap for the 1st time yesterday. Took off effortlessly with the Moki. was running too lean and she almost deadsticked, but I got her down. Floats nicely. 2nd landing wasn't so hot. Broke the wheelpants and pulled the gear plate loose. Probably a good thing, cause now I can get some real epoxy in there and not the lousy hotglue. Looks great in the air. I needed ~1/2 throttle to keep her cruising, but found 3/4 throttle was best. She may suck the fuel quite a bit, but it will be worth it. Ended up with ~10oz lead in the front and balanced slightly nose down at 6.5". Inverted was practically hands off. Very pleased so far.


    I finally fixed my landing gear block, which required an additional ~4x6", 1/4" ply on the inside for the new blind nuts. I did have to add some epoxy here and there and also replaced a lot of the ply on the outside of the fuse (underneath where the gear mounts). I put larger wheels on too (3.5" . Now I was a little surprised when I re-weighed, which was 16.2lbs. I know epoxy weighs a bit, but I didn't add that much . Wondering if it might be worth getting the cf wing tube/tail wheel. The stock tail wheel is soft and I'm sure the cf tail wheel would allow me to remove some of the 10oz lead in the front, but I think realistically, by doing this, I may only save 1/2lb. Not sure it would be noticable or worth it. Will refly this wknd.
