Default Lite PBF Airframe is done...

I've been flying my OS 40 FP PBF for almost a year now and it's getting pretty beat up, but I'm still having a blast with it. When I got that PBF done it was 2LBS 9oz. Now with all the repairs to the spine it is a solid 3 oz heavier. I've set out to make a PBF closer to 2 lbs. This one will have a .25 LA, mini throt servo, 370 mah 6V NIMH RX bat, fiberglass tubing (glasforms) for the spine(s) and a glass filled nylon engine mount. I've been using this material for the engine mounts on my SPA3D and have never had a failure (even with lots of doinks) Thanks to Dave McD and WOW-OOPS for the design help. If all works out this should be a blast.
