Dutch,

I noticed that you are flying with the stock wheels. Go get yourself some super-duper ultra-lite foam wheels. There are a couple of brands out there. Believe it or not they will save you an ounce and a half! The lite foam wheels are 1/4 the wieght of the stock rubber ones. They are only about 5 bucks. This also helps with CG. It takes some wieght off of the nose so you can take some wieght off of the tail if you are using it, or make it more tail heavy if not. If you are tail heavy without wieght now, than never mind! Awesome photo's, and great heart felt thanks. Same to you Twist brother.

You are right though..those stock wheels sure are not liteDon't know why I never thought about replacing them....see...I learn every day, thanks for the tip my friend..it is well appreciated!
