    I finally got a chance to weigh the stock aluminum gear. My gear is 0.50 lbs! So by going to composite gear you save more than the weight of one servo!

    Think I'll place my order tonight!

    Finally have all the hardware - 6/1/2003 6:04:46 AM

    Status: offline     		I've finally got all the hardware and am starting on assembly.

    I ended up getting all aluminum screws, bolts, washers and nuts. To include the bolts for the BME44. Between that and the WM 160 size engine mount I have saved a little over half a pound.

    Add to that a CF Pete Models spinner, Graphtec landing gear and tail gear, LiPoly batteries and I should be able to squeeze out a little over a pound of dead weight.

    Needless to say I'm pretty jazzed. I will be doing a review with Pictures after it is all built. Should be ready to fly by the end of June.

    Yee-Haw!!!!!

    Status: offline     		Well I got my first flight on Saturday. Wow, great plane. This is my first gasser. Man is it nice to pull up to the gas pump and leave with a gallon of fuel for under $2.00. Below are the specs

    ZDZ 40RV
    3/4 Standoffs
    MenzS 21x8
    Dave Brown Spinner
    1650 ma 6 V. Nickel Metal Ignition Battery
    2700 ma 6 V. Nickel Metal Reciever Battter
    2@ Fromco Regulated Reliaswitches
    2@ 811 Digital servos (Choke/Throttle)
    5@ 8411 Digital Servos (Control Surfaces)
    18 oz Fuel tank
    Rocket City Control Horns
    JR Prolinks w/ Rocket City ball links

    All up dry weight is 15.4 lbs. I have not put on the wheel pants yet, so when I add those I should be between 15.5 and 15.6.

    Question on the vertical fin - 6/3/2003 6:43:06 AM

    Status: offline     		Fishgod,
    did you do anything to lighten up yours? Or is it built per the instructions. 15 1/2 lbs is pretty cool. Must fly real good!

    Question for anyone:

    The vertical fin on mine does not point straight down the center of the fuselage. It is off by ~ 2* to the left.

    Anybody else's like that? Is that normal?

    I was trying to figure out why they would do that. I was wondering if it was to overcome the built in right thrust or something?

    Any comments, guesses (or snide remarks ) would be welcome.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    I built as per instructions. Maybe I just was lucky and got lighter wood in mine as compared to the ones that are coming out at 16.5 lbs. I did try to not use execive epoxy and such.
