Default RE: Oxai E-Pinnacle Build

I have weighed up all of the components. (Let me know if I forgot anything.) The weights are listed in the chart below. I estimated for elevator and rudder pushrods and cables.
I still have to add motor mount, battery tray and elevator servo tray, and the glue to install them.

So far I am at 10 pounds 1.5 oz. An ounce and a half can be lost by changing to a 900 mah battery pack instead of the listed 2400 Li ion pack listed. The weights of the fuse and wing panels are now pretty accurate as they have been weiged with a digital scale that seems pretty accurate instead of the spring scale used earlier.

In regards to wing weight as discussed earlier. It could definitely be done lighter with foam/balsa and film covering. For my comparison I weighed one of my Desire panels, a little smaller but with a retract and wheel as well. It only weighed 14.5 oz (411 gms) They were done as light as I could have with honeycombed cores etc.
