Looks great Bob! I've heard that red covering both in monokote and ultracote is the lightest color. Do you know about how much wieght you saved using all red? (sorry if this has already been brought up)
It's awesome to see this come together.

Here are the covering numbers for the 260.
Horizontal stabs 4 grams each.
Elevators 10 grams each.
Rudder 15 grams.
Ailerons 20 grams each.
Wings 75 grams each.
Fuse 160 grams.
Total 393 grams.
Now, I can't speak for the other colors but with the dark red; the clear backing weight was the same as the covering. I took one piece 36" x 55" for the wing and peeled the backing off. Both came in at 1.8 ozs. each, don't take my word for it; just try it.
