ORIGINAL: Shimano

This should be cool!

Congrats, Matt! Cant wait to see the finished beuty!
Thank you!

The wings came ot pretty light at 392 and 387 grams w/o servo and wing tube. Keeping in mind their size (525 sq inches each) and full paint, it's pretty fair weight....

Fuse with canopy and chin cowl, 1086 grams

Stab total including tube,211 grams. This is reasonably sized at 240 sq inches soslightly heavierweight per sq inch as wing panels. Needed to be strong for the 55 up front of course

Landing gear, complete with axles but w/o wheel, 4.4 ounces.

So around 2300 grams ready for equipment. That was the goal weight from the start for the completed model.
