Default RE: Balancing of TF Spitfire Prototype

Tubig.

I have really enjoyed your build and will be borrowing a few of your ideas along with a few others from some other builds. 10-10.5 pounds with the detail you added would be excellent and hard to do lighter. You Spit is looking great. If I am lucky I will end up in the same weight range with close to the same detail. I am going to start on the tail over the holidays but I am still getting my docs together and making a decision on color. Both options have the same tail setup so I can at least start on that. I did order some 4-6 pound balse sheet to replace the sheeting in the tail, which will cut a little more weight but I probably won't go any further than that in replacing wood. The engine decision really comes at the end of the fuselage build so I still have some time to make a decision and see how yours comes out. My building board is waiting for me to start pushing some pins. Keep it going and Merry Christmas.
