Weights on partial built aircraft...
Fuse with all servos and pushrods and servo extensions installed: 54.6
Wings with servos, pushrods and extensions installed: 42.0
Cowl, uncut: 8.8
Wheel Pants: 2.6
Landing gear: 6.8
All 3 wheels: 2.8
Hardware, axles, blindnuts etc, in bag: 5.2
16 oz fuel tank with fittings: 2.2
Supplied aluminum spinner with hardware: 5.2
Canopy: 3.8
NX 21x8j prop: 3.8
Evo 45GX with ignition: 54.2
Receiver: 1.2
Throttle servo: 1.8
Ignition battery: 4.0
Radio battery: 5.0
Total (if I added correctly): 204.0 ozs/16 = 12.75 lbs
I will drop the wheel pants but I'm sure I've forgotten some items, but right now I don't know what they would be. I might actually get in at 13.25lbs. But surely I'll stay under 13.5 lbs.
This gives a wing loading of 26.6 ozs. From what I can read, that is a good wing loading. But I have planes as low as 15.5. But all the bigger planes seem to be in the mid 25s to 30s. I think this should be alright, but I'm looking for opinions. What have I forgot?
Thanks
