Most trainers using 5/32" struts are 60" and weigh 5 to 5.5 lbs. Six pounds is 20% heavier than five. That's "relatively" heavy. I'm getting my mind around the fact that the wave of R/Cers coming in have had experience flying 20 oz electrics.

When my eyebrows pop up at a mall how as this 12 year old kid is telling me he taught himself to fly with a P-51 and figures he needs a .90 size with retracts as a second plane like the one between us I find these things out in further questioning.

A pound of weight at 35 mph on a 5/32" wire is a consideration. So there, Blaaaaaaaaa! 12 oz! Heck, the 11 lb Phaeton I'm building is 14 oz/ ft^2. Thing's a tank (snicker, snicker)
