Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

BTW....I weighed my plane today. Ready to fly, its 17 pounds. Holly molly! I was stunned as my KMP ME-109 only weighs 13.8 pounds. Of course, the two 5s 4900mah packs weigh 2 pounds 12 oz alone which is weight that isnt in a glow plane(although glow fuel would amount to about half that weight). She's definitely gonna need the flaps to slow down and maintain adequate lift for landing.

I was kinda hoping my scale was actually off some...since i used a bathroom scale with me on it first to get base weight and then me holding the plane on the scale. But, difference was 17 pounds so its probably close to accurate. Nuts!!
