Default RE: Designing a new pattern model

Edit: so far i have 3 solutions for the weight problem:
1. remove the spinner - easy fix, but spoils the lines of the plane;
2. build a lighter cowl - the one in the pictures is one of the first attempts, i can probably save at least 20g building a new one;
3. buy HV servos and remove the regulator (saves 38 g but it's quite expensive).
Alex:
I will save you 26g on that regulator for free. Send me a PM with your mailing address and I will send you one Tech-Aero PLR5-E programmable regulator to replace that 38g regulator that you now have.
