Gentleman,

Here is a picture of the tail with home made Lanier decal, don't like the myler stickers, so this one I cut with my vinyl cutter out of 2 mil premium vinyl.

Also, my instrument panel, weighs almost nothing (about a third ounce). It is made from black construction paper with 3/4" holes punched. I then down loaded pictures of full scale instruments form various sites (Chief Aircraft is a good place). Then printed them on photo paper, cut them out and glued them to the backside. The aerobatic sequence chart is from the IAC shrunk to the appropriate size. You can make the panel look even better by pouring clear paint over the instruments. Since this panel is under a tinted canapoy, it looks ok.

I'm looking at about 20 pounds, maybe a couple ounces short of that. Maudib mentioned a little more weight savings in the front. When I cut off about a 2" x 1" piece on the bottom front of the firewall to make room for the pitts muffler, the removed piece two ounces. Sheeted the area back with 1/8" at almost nothing.

Took about an ounce out of the landing gear plate. Has anybody drilled holes in the landing gear itself?

Blue Skies & Fair Winds,

Rege
