The DA120 conversion continues to progress. CG and weight were checked today. At present, the plane weighs 31.4 pounds (14.25 kg), which is 4 pounds less than it did with the 3W157. Ready to fly (less gas) I anticipate an overall weight savings of at least 3.5 pounds... less than I had hoped for, but substantial none the less. I knew that opting for canisters over mufflers would come with a weight penalty, but felt the sound and performance was worth the trade-off.
It will be no problem to locate radio gear forward for the correct CG. The longer cowl REALLY helped!
Time to build my equipment tray and set up the pull/pull for both servos.
It is also time to paint the elevator unit and cowl.
