I put together the wing sheeting last night. When I weighed the (12) 3/32" sheets provided for the wings, they tipped the scales at 17.5 oz. WOW, over a pound of hard balsa for the sheeting . . . luckily I had 11 sheets of 4" contest balsa from a previous project left over, they weighed in at a total of 6 oz. Knocked 11 oz. of weight off the plane and I haven't even gotten past page 1 of the instructions!!

Anybody building a deck?

You're not supposed to build the model from the kit parts. They are heavy duty templates. It took me a decade to figure that out on my own. <G>
