Default U Can Do 3D

Minimal on that size... maybe 1/10 of 1 ounce... heck you could even put lightening holes in it and get it about even...

Nike it and "Just do it"

With a lite ply hatch and the mounting rails I don't want to end up adding a lot of wood that will increase the weight to a point that I could just add lead to the tail and forget about a hatch. What do you think?

Or maybe there is a better way to mount the battery inside the fuse and then there would be no stress on the hatch.
