RE: Stinger 120 ARF weight?
Well, since there have been no responses, I decided to weigh everything myself. Perhaps this will prove helpful for someone.
I weighed everything in the box, which, in the ARF, includes all Sullivan hardware, wheels, tank, etc, plus a lightweight pilot I will be using, and it all came to 123.9 oz, or 7.75 lbs. I'd be interested to know how this compares to the foam wing "Kit" version of the Stinger 120.
Weight of my servos, extensions, RX, battery and 2 switches (RX and ignition) came to 20.4 oz.
Therefore, the plane comes in at 144 oz, or 9 lbs even, not including engine stuff or glue.
I plan to use my Wolf Predator 1.8. This engine, including the 10-32 mounting bolts, ignition, prop (Mejzlik 19x8), spinner, nuts, and ignition battery, comes to 58.6 oz. Naturally, the engine is only about 3lbs without all that stuff you need to make it fly! Have not run it on this prop yet, but not yet broken in, it turns an MA Scimitar wood 19x8 at 7400 rpm. An 18x8 was 8100 rpm.
Not including glue or servo screws (but pretty much everything else!), this comes to 203 oz, or 12.6 lbs.
Might add an RCATS ignition kill switch for emergency engine kill from my radio as redundancy, in case the throttle servo were to fail. I have the RCATS switch on my C&H converted G23 and it works as advertised.
