Congraqts on the flight Stig! Just checked back and saw this. That's great!
How much did the bare wing end up weighing?
How much weight did you save in the tail? Were you able to decrease nose weight as a result?
Thanks, John .
I think the wing weighs 12 lbs now. A bit heavy, and I think I could do it lighter if I have to. I would like to add the flaps, as they add to the scale look and of course helps the lift and drag during landing.
I did not use the built-up tail that I made, so the only weight I saved, was the difference between the weight of the engines. The Simjet 1200's are quite light. I was able to decrease the nose weight a little as well.
I hope to fly my A-10 next weekend at our 2nd winter meeting. But the forecasted low temperature might keep me at home where it's warm. (Forecast says 6-10 degrees below freezing point celcius)[sm=52_52.gif] I have done some adjustments to the gear retraction sequence, and I hope to be able to retract the gear fully this time.
