How much does the carf cockpit weight?
i can get away with less tail weight if I place the batts in the back with the tanks but the idea scares me.
can you post pictures of your cockpit? Who made it and how much was it, I was considering Carf, but people have said the carf cockpit is lacking all the parts to make it completely including panels for the dash.
