I always hear this phrase ¨I am going to buld it light¨ But what exactly does it mean? What do you guys do to shed the ounces. My first kit was a Funky 40 from CA models, its a 3d machine that looks like swiss cheese bc of all the wood they cut out of the kit to lighten it. For the motor I have on it, it has marginal pull out power. I am sure I built it a little heavy as it was my first kit. I am thinking about buying another kit and trying to build it as light as possible.

So how do you guys keep your birds skinny? I am wanting to cut the weight down as much as possible and cut out every thing that is not absolutely necessary. Below is a pic of the plane ready to cover.
