Good work Flytexan.
I see that you have read my old thread!

You can save some weight by replacing the heavy aluminum wing tube by a CF. Keep the tube socket included in the kit, the CF tube will fit perfectly.

CA alumium tube: 110g
CF tube: 44g
Weight saving:66g=2.3oz
Go with the Kavan wheels. They are the lightest on the market!

I would not recommand to buy a CF landing gear like i did. It's expensive and there is no real weight saving if you drill some hole in the aluminium gear like you did on the tail.
Mine fly very nice at 12lbs and unlimited vertical with MVVS1.6, Menz S 18x6 7900RPM. Not a 3D monster but a very good IMAC plane
