RE: Quique Somenzini YAK-54S 73"
If every ounce counts:
[ul][*]Use Troy built 2600 mah Lithium-ion battery w/6volt regulator, total weight 4.1 oz. [*]Use Great Planes plastic spinner with lightened aluminum backplate.[*]Use servos that weigh 1.60 oz instead heavy 2.11 oz.[*]Use no on-board glow battery if the engine is a side mounted OS 1.60 (keep the pump).[*]Use a wooden prop. (It may not be worth it if you have to sacrifice thrust.)
