I haven't weighed the plane yet. I will weigh it this week and let you know.
I left the plane a little nose heavy on purpose. I know that this helps with the bouncing that many people are having troubles with. I am using the stock tires. After that first landing I know that I need to keep a little more speed on the plane at touchdown to keep the tail from dropping and making the plane bounce. I think the trick is going to be letting off of the elevator as soon as the wheels touch so that it lets the tail come up until the speed is blead off.
Mine will come more heavy. The Dubro inflatable wheels are heavier than the stock ones, but i have not a grass strip to land.
Now my works are suspended. I'm waiting the 24 oz tank and the Williams Brothers dummy engine.
