Composite ARF 2m x 2m Extra build
OK guys,
Time to get started on my new Composite ARF 2 x 2 Extra building:
Since I'm big into the electrics stuff these days, this airplane is going to use the Comp-ARF supplied Hacker conversion kit for nice, quiet, clean, impressive power.
So far.. the weight situation is as follows:
Fuse w/chin cowl - 30.4 ounces
Canopy (opaque, no clear available) - 4.2 ounces
Stab/elevator - 4.5 ounces each (they were identical down to the gram)
Rudder - 4.6 ounces
Wing panels - 18.5 oz right panel, 19.2 oz left panel
landing gear legs - 5.6 ounces total for both
Wheel pants - 2.4 ounces total
Included hardware - 16.2 ounces (not all hardware will be used as much is for glow/gas installation
Hacker conversion kit - 11.9 ounces.
Total bare airframe weight - 122 ounces. I'm guessing a full 8 ounces of stuff is for the glow/gas version but I won't take that off my weight list just yet.
Motor - 18.5 ounces
Battery - 42.7 ounces
Controller - 3.2 ounces
Prop - 4 ounces
Spinner - 2.6 ounces
Servos - 11 ounces total (5 x 2.2)
Receiver - .9 ounces
So now we're at 204.9 ounces (12.8 pounds) not counting any misc additional weight from assembly, glue, pushrods, etc..
I'll post some basic airframe pictures here a bit later today.
