Hi all,

I finished fiber-glassing my build and trimmed it this morning. Now I am going to let it cure for a week before i start sanding. The complete fuselage after fiber glassing weighs 3 lbs .1 ounces - compare that to my weight back on page 18 of this thread of 2 lbs 12.5 oz - for a net gain of 3 .6 oz.

now I did not weigh the fuse right before I did the fiber-glassing and I did a lot of sanding since where I was at on page 18 - but I think a net gain of 3.6 oz is outstanding... I should be able to sand off at least one full ounce, maybe more before priming.

I did double check my scales. I am just real happy my completed fuse is at 3 lbs....


wow - that was worth getting up at 6:30 am too !!!!

I am just amazed at how easy this project has been. I asked Mike the other day "where is the hard stuff".

this project has been a dream so far : )
