When the plans showed lots of stick built area I assumed the plane would end up light weight. I didn't like the 1/8x1/4 balsa spars and I had some 1/4x1/4 spruce so I replaced one in each wing. The tuned pipe fits better with the engine vertical and running tight to the side of the fuse. The weight may also increase as I plan to cover it with supercoverite. Cloth looks so much better. The structure is VERY stiff but is now getting to feel heavy.
I guess I'm used to my 22oz 1/2a models that are visually much larger than this plane.
