I had a carbon fiber prop and put a wood prop on, carbon gear, NiMH batteries (had Nicd's). The cf gear saves 1/2 a pound, and so on.
I dont know if I am brave enough to try the cf wing tube.
I am running a 3W-75 single so the lighter the better.
Brian,
How's the gear been holding up? I've had my share of problems with the CF gear on my Edge. You are correct......1/2 pound between the stock gear and the CF. I haven't had any issues with my wing tube but you don't save as much weight as you do with the gear (saves about 2 oz if I recall)
Are you running stock mufflers or cans?
