Okay all, just for grins I just put the untrimmed and sanded airframe on the scales. ( Mike doesn't like when I give these intermediate weights as they don't reflect the finished weight on that stage of the finish, but they are fun and it's just for grins

)
So far the complete (but untrimmed and un-sanded) fiberglassed base has added 3.8 oz to the airframe and I know I can sand off at least .8 oz and most likely a lot more.
and believe me I will be very happy if my base finishes out at less than 3 oz - My ball park was 4 oz but I bet I can beat 3 oz...
yee-haw !!!!
cheers all!
