RE: TF Contender maidened
I can't remeber the weight off hand exactly, but i want to say it was around 5.5 or 6 lbs.
The K&B flew it very well. I was flying it off a grass strip and had enough power to get airborn and to climb vertically.
Landing was a breeze on approaches and touch downs.
One thing I do remeber doing- I reinforeced the firewall with 1/4" triangular stock and epoxied it well. The K&B i had was heavy and pulled the plane. I wanted to make sure the wall was strong
