Is the FG fuse any heavier than the balsa one?

it certainly is better looking!
Can't be certain about the weight. My mate hasn't finished his yet.
I think that WM's specs say that its ~ 6 oz. heavier.
He did bring the kit out to the field for us to check out one day. The fuse is very well built, with wood formers & stringers attached with epoxy at all the stress points. It was lighter than I expected.
I gotta tell ya - he offered me to swap his (semi-new) kit for my built one. I nearly took him up on it!
