Actually I was thinking more along the lines of empty or CL. Weight of the radio will be 9.4 oz. less servo extensions. Motors are 9.5 ounces(each) with mufflers. I'm taking 1/32 worth of wood off the exterior. I have some 1/16 just laying here and I'll use the 3/32 for the ribs. I'm going to just cut my own ribs out from an airfoil. Since I have Realflight G3, I will copy the airfoil off of there and resize it for my purposes. I'm going to significantly lighten the ribs also.(especially after the motors) I'm going to go ahead and cut the nose gear plate out so I can sheet the plane. Does anyone know how much wood would be good left there?(It's way to big on the plans)

Also, as far as cowling goes, the cowls are 6" I believe. I'm thinking about using a 3 liter bottle and cutting them out of there, but I haven't measured. Does anyone know of a good source for a 'glass cowling? I prefer 'glass to plastic.
