Default RE: Finnish Brewster F2A Buffalo



Thanks Tero.
Believing this will be bit heavier than Bates plans estimates. Now without radios, paint, cockpit, dummy engine its bit less than 40lbs. So it will be around 47-50lbs. Good news balance point at this moment is spot on. Dummy engine and radios frontside of balance point promising good, propably wont need any ballast. fuse was about 2kg or 4,5lbs out of mold, and its truly huge.
Cowl and everything frontside of BP are heavy laminate adding useful nose weight.

cheers
