RE: Defiant MKII
Todd,
If I remember correctly, the PL Partner was 19 ounces for bare fuse, canopy, chin piece. It felt unbelievably light for its size when I held it in my hands. However, the honeycomb pipe tunnel and internal formers, stab tube, firewall started increasing the weight. The ready to paint weight with everything on it, wing tube supports, all the things I mentioned was 830 grams, or about 29 ounces. As light as it is, it is not a fragile product. The ready to fly weight of this plane with DZ 140 is 9.75 pounds. My ZNline Supreme fuse was 859 grams ready to paint, but the final weight with OS 140 RX is 9.0 pounds. The paint, covering, landing gear, and engine setup contributed to the lighter final weight. I hope this is useful information for comparison.
Your mold is a work of art. I am very impressed.
