TManiac,

I think some of the weight issue maybe in the glue. I tried using safe CA and it did not work at all, so I switched to GWS glue. It is like contact cement but drys hard and much lighter than epoxy. I am almost out of it, so if anyone knows of a replacement without buying a GWS plane to get it, I would be very interested. The only epoxy on the kit is on the landing gear and firewall. I also added a steerable tail wheel that I really like. And of course an 830 Appogee pack.

I must not be pushing this as hard as you because I am getting longer flights (again could be the weight). I use a 10 X 3.8 APC slow flight it will pull 9 amps and 20 oz of thrust. I only use a single aileron servo HS-55, Electron-6 receiver with case removed and CC 10 esc. I am going to recheck my weight tonight, just to be sure I am not misleading you.
