Default RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread

I have

Fuse 823 g
All wood in bag 393 g
Leading edges + other 197 g
Right stab 57 g
Left stab 60 g
Right wing 226 g
Left wing 234 g
Rudder 22 g
Canopy ( Nut cut yet ) 227 g

Total 2239 g

" All wood in bag" includes the undercarriage along with wheel pants and tail tube of aluminum. Fuse is huge (!) on this one, so it will be difficult to build a really light aeroplane. In comparison the fuselage of the Cocaine was 765 g with a large plate for undercarriage allready installed.
Your models empty weight seems to be 78.8 oz, 2234 g, so this is now all alarm lights starts to turn on for keeping the weight down going electric, but for glow it is going to end up in the 4700's. That is also the weight i'm shooting for....Back to the building table ...
