How did I get it to 6lbs, 7oz?
That weight is with ski's.
I used a Saito 91 w/APC15x6.
Aileron and elevator servo's are Hitec 225's, rudder is a mid mounted Hitec 615 w/pull-pull using Spiderwire, throttle is a Hitec HS 81.
Replaced the hardwood block over the elevator by forming wetted balsa over the original block and did not use the screws or blind nuts.
Battery is 1200mah Lithium two cell pack.
Used lighter engine mount.
No pilot.
I did not use any Epoxy for construction.
I did not use the wheel pants.
I used the 256 rods wrapped in Uni-carbon then soaked with thin CA.
I weighed it at the post office.
Thats about it.
