Default Help! need 3W Fun Extra AUW? please.

A couple of add'l comments.

The tank is very small. I would guess no more than 12 oz. There is a molded tray for the round tank, and substitution would be difficult. I know gas engines are more fuel-efficient, but a long flight time seems unlikely.

The spinner has no prop cutout and the backplate is not drilled for the 3-w six bolt pattern. I am thinking about a Tru-turn, probably a $60-70 add-on.

The gear is not mounted very sturdily. Any really hard landing will take it off. It won't be easy to get at, so I am going to give it a try as is. I hope the plane will be light enough to be a real floater on landings.
