RonTins,
Good to hear. Early on I weighed what I had minus covering and all the little things which obviously add weight. At that time I figured it would be 30-32 lbs. I would have been more worried knowing it would come out at 34+, but it flies very scale. I didn't want a plane that flew so fast it didn't look scale. 1/2 to 3/4 throttle is just right.....it all worked out.
Thanks for your comments throughout this thread. Hopefully you'll do a build thread for your TMMY. Looking forward to seeing pics when you get it!
