Wow !! 28 1/2 pounds. Mine with my G38 place way forward and only needing 5 oz of lead up front weighs 23 pounds 9 oz. Just under 24 pounds and thus the G38 pulls the plane around great. I have already had several offers for the plane.

I would ponder as to what can be done to get the plane lighter.

As far as the push rod to the elevator, I used a carbon fiber push rod and it weighs less than a servo, and placed one brace in ... at the very leading edge of the horz stab inside the fuse, and there is no slop. Pretty pleased with the out come.

What did ya do to get the plane up to 28 1/2 pounds.??? I even "over" fiberglassed the bottom of the wing and am less than 24.
