4 mounths later the plane is built. Last one I built took 6 weeks but that was then and this is now. I just started the glassing process today but someone wanted to know the weight after glassing so I hung it on a scale. Just the plane, no gear or anything in it came in right at 6 pounds. When I finish the glassing and before paint I will weigh it again to see how much weight the glassing adds. An 80 inch plane at 6 pounds isn't bad, lighter then most ARFs and it's fully sheeted, has real glue and epoxy not to mention it is all top grade wood. Keep in mind I also had to make mods and use aircraft ply so it would hold up to the Brison 2.4 gas engine. For a glow four stroke it could have been even lighter. How easy is this. A big plane for about $100.00. Covering would be fast and easy, I could have it in the air in a week.
