Just wanted to say Im building a Graupner G202 which is a great kit - ARTF - but the span is 3-4" less than Capiche 40 and the area is less I thin by appearance... and the wing is 655 grams with servos but without wing bolts (nylon) and belly pan so you can add a few grams for that.

That equals 23.1oz plus the other parts.

The kit feels nice and light but clearly your kit with a home build and the materials you supply is lighter which perhaps proves why you dont like the idea of artf !?

The tail surfaces are a good size and although they are pre hinges there is good throw but calculating the AUW I think it will be around 6-6.5lbs which is not so good as Capiche 50.

It is true you have a good light plane
