I see that Nitroplanes is now stocking this one apparently from the Fly-Model factory.

My question is that at the stated flying weight of 7 lbs. and a wing area of 490 sq. inches, that works out to about 33 ounces/sq. ft. which is in the same league as the Gee Bee R1/R2.......

Think Nitro could pull one out of the box and put all the components on a scale, let us know what that part weighs. We can figure the weight of the rest of the stuff (radio, engine etc.) to double check this wing loading?

Cool looking plane, but I think (if the numbers are correct) that the wing loading is going to be a bit too much.
