RE: Shinden Build
Hi Mark,
I sent them an e-mail in Danish (my native language and very similar to Norwegian), and they answered within a day. I sent the mail to "post (at) throttlestore (dot) com"... The kit is at the local post office now, and I expect to pick it up tomorrow. Details will follow.
I have not decided what type of propulsion to install yet, it will depend on the weight of the kit, either a YS-170DZ or a Plettenberg EVO. My C-ARF Integral, which is of similar construction, had a kit weight of 2296 grams (details below) and the finished "dry" weight without battery of that is 3837 grams with a Plettenberg EVO and Schulze 80A ESC. This just gives "room" for a FP5350 F3A LiPo pack that weighs approx. 1160 grams.
Raw weights of my Integral kit was:
Fuselage: 810 Grams
Canopy: 87 Grams
Cowl: 78 Grams
Right wing half: 410 Grams
Left wing half: 420 Grams
Wing tube: 95 Grams
Right stab: 122 Grams
Left stab: 117 Grams
Stab tube: 12 Grams
Fixed gear: 112 Grams
Wheel pants: 33 Grams
Total: 2296 Grams
