RE: Oxai E-Pinnacle Build
Nice stuff, just a small lip to hold the tray. I guess they size for the big Futaba Servo. This makes sense, pick the worst case and then other servos can be modified in place.
I've been doing some research also on wing weights.
This is from the TS Composite Oxalys thread.
"Hello Rune
Weigth of finished wing without servo is 850 g. Total weight estimated of wing is about 950 g without wing tube. Plane already to flight without fuel is about 4700 g (Yamada engine).

This is 33oz converted. 16.5 oz per panel. Composite Molded wing. Model total 4700g or 10.4lbs
Then a Bob Pastorello experiment the Tojerio these are film covered, 15.8oz and 16.4oz per panel, with Petrol he is 11lbs plus a smidgen depending on the right engine combo.
Local buddy got a Brio kit last fall. He is at 14.5oz per panel with no covering yet. My guess is Ultracote will add 2oz per panel. He is working on it now. Should be a few weeks and will know the wing weights.
I see this 15.5oz per panel in a painted wing as a huge bonus guys. It may not be like Dave's Supreme for weight but man alive its not heavy in the spectrum of what else is out there.
By the way Stu, I like all the photos you have taken. Looks good.
I see Central and OXAI USA are offering the Beryll and have prices up now. Talked to Mr Johnson and they have Pinnacle, E-Pinnacle and Beryll models coming in June.
I may just have to spring for one of these bad boys. If they fly 1/2 as well as they look then we got something. Come on lets see it get done man.
