That´s one extremely light Tempest!
Eric,
It has to be. We are over 8,000 ft. ASL here in Mexico City.
I think it´s great! As I will run electric power, I am interested in ways to shave weight. I will use contest grade balsa (less than 100 grams / cubic decimeter, equivalent to 6.24 lbs / cubic foot) but any other info would be great. Are your wings foam or built-up? If they are built-up, what thickness did you use for the wing sheeting? Any information would be great.

Your built up front-end looks great too.
