Default RE: Extra 2X2

Correction.

I previously stated that my 2X2 with the DA 50 came in at a total 15 lbs. Well I was wrong. After recalculating the weight of the fuel that was in it, the plane actually weighs right at 16 lbs (without fuel).

So with a wing area of 1140 (assuming that is correct, someone in this forum said that is what it is) that puts the wing loading at 32.36 oz per SF ? I think this is correct.

Again this is with 2 X 1950 main batts, 1 eng batt, heavy 4 inch dubro main tires and a heavy tail wheel setup.

With the CG just behind the rear most recommended CG, it does not fly heavy. Just needs lots more Elv and Ail throws.
