Default RE: NIT PICKING ABOUT WEIGHT? READ THIS

Glad to hear this!

My 4*60 needed about 10 oz in the nose to balance the heavy tail. It weighs about 8.5 lbs dry.

Got bored and built an LT-25 kit (needed something to do to get thru these windy days). It balances perfectly with no additional weight at about 4.25 lbs dry.

Don't know why one kit turned out heavy and another one spot on. Can't think of anything I did differently. I tried to follow the directions exactly on both kits.

As soon as the wind quits I'll fly both of them and report back.
