Status: offline 		Bob, it was great seeing you at the lake last weekend and hearing about this awesome project. Just like your 35% laser that flew so well and so long on a DA 50, I know this will work out great for your extreme 3D style of flying that we all enjoy watching you do.

It is really great of you to share your build with us. Lesser men would have gone away and not continued to share, with all the empty-headed, opinionated criticism you and George took from the psuedo-aeronautical engineers. We really appreciate a true engineer sharing his trade with us, and hope you keep up the great information flow, in spite of all the nay-sayers. They have obviously never seen any of your previous work or seen any of your excellent flying.

I look forward to seeing you at the flying field, flying your new build through many successful and entertaining flights.

Your friend,
Mike Boyd

I am in the covering stage at the moment, when I get a little further down the road I will post some more pictures and weights.

Status: offline 		Here are a couple more pictures and some factual weight figures on covering. Each component was weighed before covering and after. The pictures of the 260 are with all aileron and elevator servos installed. The weights listed below are covering weight only.

Horizontal stabs 4 grams each.
Elevators 10 grams each.
Rudder 15 grams.
Ailerons 20 grams each.
Wings 75 grams each.
Fuse 160 grams.
Total 373 grams.
Now, I can't speak for the other colors but with the dark red; the clear backing weight was the same as the covering. I took one piece 36" x 55" for the wing and peeled the backing off. Both came in at 1.8 ozs. Each, don't take my word for it just try it.
