I've repeatedly predicted the finished weight of an airframe to within 4 ounces by weighing the components before assembly.
The laws of physics say that what goes in is what will come out. If you can't accurately predict the finished weight, there's
just one reason : you don't understand what's going in and coming out.

Kitman : Was your plane delivered as just another plane in the production shipment or did it come separately? Oh yeah,
I already know. It was a special preshipment A/C that was specially built to be shown at the WRAM show. Hmmm....

We know that Chip's planes don't weigh what he said they would. Let's start a poll to guess if he will

A) apologize and updates his website with accurate information
B) Apologize and fix the manufacturing problem resulting in heavy A/C
C) ignore it all and hope not too many people read these posts.

I really, really hope that it's B, because I want to own one of these things at 15 lb one day. And yes, I can tell
the difference in how a 15 lb A/C flies and a 17 lb one does. If I didn't, I wouldn't spend all my time weighing
stuff.
