This is VERY interesting... the wood parts I haven't touched, have already lost 2.3 oz!

I noticed that my hatch was actually a tad heavier in todays weight untouched vs. yesterday's weight intouched.

I was going to go ahead and lighten the tail out a bit just to see how much I was gonna save in the tail... (yeah I know)...

And thought I better weigh the fuse again... It dropped 1.1 oz! The wings dropped a little too and one stab a hint... the other stab was the same.

Then I weighed all the "hard stuff" wingtube, stabtubes, gear, etc... they are all the same... so YES.. .the plane dropped 2.3 oz on it's own... Probably dried out some from being outside on the ocean so long.

now that's what I am talking about! Yeah it's not gonna drop 1/2 lb... but maybe when all is said and done it would be 1/4 lb less huh?

Then one could argue it would gain that much in humid summers... well I dunno... but let me enjoy this anyway...
