RE: BME Edge?
While I'm at it... my engine (ZDZ-50), Inv. Pitts Muffler, Ignition, Dave Brown spinner and 22x8 prop weigh at 4.25 lbs...
Add 12 oz for servos and 4 oz for extensions another lb.
Add 10 for the lion batteries, 2 for switches/regulator 3/4 lb
That SHOULD get me to around 16 lbs... add 8 oz for misc things like fiber optic kill switch, aileron horns, linkage, etc...
I'm thinking it's gonna end up at 16.5 lbs... I could drop 4 oz in a wingtube, but that's about as much as I can see dropped....
I already have the Graphtec small tailwheel.... and you can't get a stab tube for it.
I don't think it's gonna fly much different minus 4 oz so I'll stick with 16.5 lbs... Should be pretty nice at that weight... My Wild Hare was 17.25...
