Default Fun Fly for .25 FP ??

i'll take pictures tomorrow. I do have an autocad file but i want to fix it up a bit before i release it to anyone, it's pretty rough right now.

Now i kinda wish i had taken your advice and built it with lighter side panels ain't that the way it goes... I didn't exoect it to work this well so i didn't put a whole lot of effort into it... i hope it will hover, maybe i can cut some holes in the side or something. I think the tail and wing are designed fairly lightly, and i didn't put any landing gear on at all, just hand launch and set it down in the grass. That pretty much leaves the fuse as the only place to save weight... i guess the radio components too, but i'm not interested in spending much if any money to get it lighter. A couple times i've had to remind myself that the whole idea of this project was to do it CHEAP.
