Just reduced my H9 Cap 232 from 26.0 lbs. to 25.0 lbs. This is a 4% reduction in weight.

Alum tube to CF tube: 3.9 oz. savings
Alum gear to CF gear: 7.1 oz. savings
Heavy to Light Pilot: 4.3 oz. savings
15.3 oz. total savings

Wing Loading before: 34.2 oz / sq. ft.
Wing Loading after: 32.9 oz / sq. ft. 4% reduction in wing loading.

I will fly the new weight / wing loading tomorrow hoping to gain overall performance for IMAC style flying, especially vertical performance.

Question: What does everyone think will be the outcome?
No change in performance
Slight change in performance
Large change in performance
