Default RE: 260 CG

I have all the CF you do except for the main gear. The stuff Tom supplies is light enough I didn't feel there was a significant savings there & strengthwise it is pretty light, so I figured it might wind up giving when the TnT carbon gear wouldn't & maybe save the plane from a less then perfect landing one day. Low & behold, 'bout a month ago I hit a clump of dirt on the runway and folded the right side gear back, no damage to the plane at all. I replaced the gear with the same stuff as before.

I think I got a light one as my all up weight with the carbon & the BME 100 is 22lb. 5 oz. Kicker of that is it includes a Sullivan smoke pump & 32 oz. tank. It doesn't include the smoke oil though.
