Default RE: The new Lanier Edge 87"

Here is what I got with a digital postal scale:

Rudder 3.2
Wing Half /w Aileron 22.6
Wing Half /w Aileron 22.6
32" x 1 1/2" Wing Tube 8.4
Fuselage with canopy and smoked windshield 53.3
Elevator and Stab Half 3.8
Elevator and Stab Half 3.8
(18 1/2 x 1/2, 7 1/8 x 1/2)Stab Tubes 2.1
Fiberglass Cowl 7.6
Pair Fiberglass wheel pants 3.7
Tank hardware bag 4.8
Landing Gear 10.6
Wheels 1.6
Hardware 8.7
===============
Total 9lbs 12.8oz

You can calculate your own engine, radio, etc. FYI: True Flight Power Point 24x8 prop is 4.1 oz. I don't have the 4 1/2" spinner yet.

Wing Half Dimensions
LE 39 5/8
TE 41 1/2
Root 20 3/4
Tip 11 1/2
Max Airfoil Thickness is 3"
Aileron is 5 1/2" constant and run all but 6" from root.

LE is pretty close to (and looks to be) perpendicular from Root.

I came up with 1278 sq inches - but that is based on flat measurements of
the wing root and tip.
