Unfortunately, I havent weighed it. I will tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks for the warning regarding the firewall. As with many of my creations, the firewall breaks loose at some point. I have an ugly stick with a Zenoah GT-80 twin. I figure that either the firewall will fail or the wing will give up... Only time will tell! Actually I dont fly haphazardly. I really go over my planes prior to each flight which generally identifies these potential failures.

The UCANDO is still a bit nose heavy as she sits right now. As with wings of this type, basically an ugly stick wing, the stall characteristics are very gentle. She does a nice harrier landing using full rates to control her all the way to touch down.
