I think what we need in the RC plane market is really light but powerful elevator servos. Like ones that weigh one ounce instead of two or three. That translates into a lot of nose weight savings. I had a slightly damaged cowl on a 25% CAP232 ARF. They sent me a new one. I weighed everything just like Barry. I found out that the damaged cowl weighed 8 ounces and the new one 12 ounces. So I figure I'll just repair the lighter one and use either one depending how my plane balances out. BTW, the repair job won't add more than a few grams of glass and resin.
