RE: Carden Cuda Build
I can also see from your pictures that you did not cut any holes in the side of the motor box. From the holes I cut in the back of the 1/8 ply motor box I have found that a 1.5" radius hole saves .2 oz wile a 2" radius hole saves .5 oz. So I was thinking of putting holes in the side of the motor box (in front of the fuse) but again not sure if it is worth the weight savings / strength trade off. Plus with the rudder servo in the tail we might need nose weight anyway.
