Bill,

Yes, 12 ounces will be something to behold. Slow going (my fault) but the fuse and tail are built but not covered. Total weight, a whopping two ounces. That's even with a bit of extra sheeting and other bits and pieces to reinforce just for the bang, bang of an IC engine. The wing ought to be no more than that. So, we're starting at four onces for the airframe. Engine, 1.75 ounces, Radio, 2 ounces. Gear, covering, control rods, maybe 2-3 ounces.

Twelve ounces should be about achievable. Can't wait. Will keep everyone posted.
