RE: Pentathlon Build Thread
OK.. so, had to weigh some parts, i am trying to determine if i am going to glass and paint or monokote the fuse.. looking like we get to PAINT.
Here they are:
Each wing sanded and ready to hinge, no servo box in yet: 270g or 9.5 ounces
Each stab sanded and ready to hinge, no servo box in yet: 55g or 1.9 ounces
Fuse with Rudder, canopy, chin cowl, wing tube and landing gear struts: 1038g or 36.3 ounces or 2.27 lbs
trying to remember everything to add in etc, i think i come up with under 10 lbs before ANYTHING is covered or painted.
So, keeping that in mind i think the following:
Total covering weight in stabs: 1.5
Total covering weight in wings: 4 oz
Total painted fuse weight added: 2.5 oz
So.. add some graphics as well 2 oz???
Total flying weight prediction: 10 lbs 10 oz (crossing fingers.. i hope so)
More pics later when i get her assembled.
