Default RE: Brio - Glow to Electric

Thank you for the fuse weight MTK

I weighed my fuse as pictured above without the firewall but with the following items installed - canopy,
chin cowl, stabs, rudder servo, elevator servo, rx with satilite, switch, the anti spark plug holder pictured
above, the stock gear mounting plate, and battery tray rails.

3 pounds 9 ouncs (57oz.).

I should weight the wings... I wonder if a built up set of wings would weigh less then the foam core?

The firewall I removed came in at 2 ounces not including all the glue I have been grinding out of this thing.
I am considering .093 carbon fiber sheeting (same as the battery tray rails) for the replacement firewall.
