Default Weight

Weight - I don't know! I haven't finished it. I put on the wing tips this morning. The wing is framed up. Current weight is about 7 ounces, as is. I am posting pics as I progress. I have yet to build the fuse, rudder and elevons. I have set this one up for Hitec 225 mini servos. I don't think that the landing gear block it going to add any weight because the 1/8" aircraft ply is replaceing the two hardwood blocks. The aluiminum landing gear should weigh about the same as the two 1/8" steel music landing wires. I would summize that it should be awlfully close to a break even. Since I am running a Webra 32 with a Mac header and moose can. a couple of ounces difference is sure as heck not going to make much difference in my set-up, though just in case I decided to switch to the Hitec 225s.
I'll let you know what is comes out weight wise once I finish it.
