It's taken me awhile, but I have finally completed all the painting. My final weight of all the painted components without anything else installed except Robart hinges is exactly 90 oz. That was a gain in weight of 15.5 oz from bare wood. The Koverall and Minnwax sealing added 11.4 oz and the Rustoleum paint job only added 4.1 oz of weight. I was really expecting more weight added from the Rustoleum. 90 oz = 6lb 4oz. I'm hoping my final weight after everything is assembled will be in the 10.5 - 12 lb range as stated on the Four Star 120 specs range. It is just assembling and balanceing left to do.
I'm working on reinforcing my landing gear now, before I install them. The supplied lg in the kit seem very weak.
