Bill and All...

I got an Email from Jose at flite skins...here is part that pertains to the weight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Doug,

Thank you for your interest in Fliteskin. Following are the weight per 36inX48in sheet (1728 sq. inch):

.007 .84 lbs.
.010 1.25 lbs
.012 1.5 lbs.
.015 1.9 lbs.
.020 2.5 lbs.

I use . 010 for most of the building since it is the best combination of strengh, weight and flexibility "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
end of his email


Hummm, so looks like the .010 would weigh in for the 260 wing at about 2.5 lbs not including
the Elmers ProBond.. to include the wood parts am thinking around about 4 lbs. or am I out of line there.

Heck my 68 in. Dirty Bridi/Koas wings with wheels, Money Kote and just fibre glassed center section only weighs 2.25 lbs.

Idonkno..you tell me. Think I'll have em send me a few samples as he suggested he would.
