Hey Sic

Wow! I didnt realize how compact those were. You will be saving almost a pound and a half in the engine section, over the Turbax set up in the test plane. I also weighed the latest engine nacelle pulled from the mold, and it is the lightest yet at 1.1 pounds. 4 pounds of fuel. Should not need to much counter weight as long as its fully noseward. This is getting exciting! Seems to me that the whole setup will come in lighter than the turbax. Not to mention the airframe will be about 2 pounds lighter. I am going to guess and say 20 pounds wet.

I will be bringing a few kits to John and lowell in about a week so hopefully they can get one out to you pretty quick. Cant wait to see it fly turbine!

What scheme will you be doing?
