Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand....WE HAVE WINGS!

Picked up the wings and stabs today, fresh out of the bags.

First, an idea of JUST how pretty the stuff from National Balsa is:



And now, of course, the important part...WHAT DO THEY WEIGH?!?!? Inquiring minds want to know:



Yep. 30.9 oz...less than 2 lbs...for the entire set, wings and stabs.

With that number, toss in:

35oz fuse
55o DL-50
Roughly a pound each for radio, covering, remaining "stock" (LE, TE, etc)

10 1/2 lbs.

Obviously, that doesn't include tank, or gear, or wing tube, cowl...etc...but this plane seems VERY doable in the 14 lb range now.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
