RE: Modellbau UK Kestrel
Guys, I am updating some of the previous posts with extra pics and information, so if you are interested go back to the beginning and take a look.

EDIT to add weights:
Falcon weights first Fuse - 1045 grams Kestrel 1206grams, extra weight is in reinforcing the turbine mounting platform.
Booms- 255 gms, Kestrel Left 239grams right 261grams
Wing - 575 gms Kestrel 670 Left 698 Right
Canopy - 75 gms (to add later)
Main spar 100gms Kestrel 75grams
Front spar - 20 gms (to add later)
Tailplane - 115gms Kestrel 152grams.
Not surprisingly with all the added reinforcement on the Kestrel it weighs slightly more than the original unmodified Falcon 120, I will get my modified Falcon 120 out of the loft and see what that weighs, I know its a lot more than the Kestrel as I went overboard on the reinforcement to the wings and fus.
