RE: Blue Angel - Build
Now that the wing tip blocks are on I did some weight checking with the following results:
1. The wing with retracts and no servos is 30.75 oz.
2. The fuselage with the tail assembly, nose gear, fuel tank, canopy and spinner is 25.5 oz.
3. The radio gear (six servos), engine, engine mount, prop, pipe header and pipe is 48 oz.
The total weight is 104.25 oz or 6 lb 8.25 oz.
Glassing and painting the fuse will add a little weight and glassing the center section and MonoKote on the wing will add a little weight. I still have push rods and servo mounting and linkage weight to add but it is going to come out lighter than my Tiporare and maybe my Kwik Fli III.
To be continued…
