I just took delivery of a CARF Rebel 2m in the Red Launch Scheme. Compared to the T1, the Rebel is much less beefy in it's construction, which explains why folks are reporting the Rebel is much lighter than the T1. I compared dimensions and discovered that the Rebel 2m is actually slightly larger than the T1 2.2m. This is because CARF labels their size (2m) as the wingspan, whereas, the T1 (2.2m) is measured as length. The Rebel is about 1/2 inch longer in length, and about 2 inches wider in wingspan over the T1. I'm going with Electron retracts and Kingtech K142g4 and hoping I can keep the AUW under 30 lbs. I have purchased a Unilight system but am a little nervous right now about grinding holes in my wings to install them I would appreciate any pictures or technical advise on installing the Unilights. Thanks! Tom
