RE: would a carbon fiber rod be strong enough to hinge a removable rudder?
The battery pack weighs in at about 3.7 ounces and the regulator 1.1 ounces. My wing panels weigh in at about 1#2 ounces each. One panel is a 1/2 ounce heavier than the other.
I will lose the wing spring in favor of 1/4-20 nylon thumb screws and nylon washer. With some of the changes i've made i'v removed 6 ounces. I still need to make a header bracket and apply some graphics along with the throttle servo and fuel filter.
I need to remove as much weight as possible. What could I set up differently?
