Default RE: 69" QQ Yak-54

Reza,

Can you tell me what the landing gear, axles, and wheels weigh, and do you think it would be practical to try and find a carbon fiber landing gear strut to replace the glass-epoxy strut that comes with the Yak 69"? Central hobbies has a carbon fiber landing gear strut that weighs 3.2 ozs, and they also have aluminum axles that weigh 2 grams each. How much would these save over what comes standard?
