Terry:

The Honda graphics sheet is on the way to you, you should have it this week.

<16.5 lbs is lighter than I expected, good news. I think the production planes will actually be a few ounces ligter still because the cowl mounting is different. Use a CF wing tube and you are under 16 lbs.

What a rocket that will be. The TOC-53 pulls my 17 lb. 4 oz. Kap with authority, so the 16 lb. Sukhoi should be awesone.

I attribute some of the quick building time to the 3mm engine's being easy to mount. I have often spend 2-3 hours just figuring out how to mount the engine and hook up the controls for it. Try a ZDZ-80 some time, it's an all day effort to set up the engine.
