Thanks - I appreciate the feedback - I was somewhat discouraged when I weighed it.

I will reread what you suggest and lighten some areas before I finish it - basically make the changes that have to be made before covering. If I can save 3 - 4 oz then I know I can pick up a couple more with the servo and wheels but wont do this until I have flown it. It has been very windy out here this year and I would like to see how a heavier plane flies - I may like it better.

The ABS is heavy, I was really surprised- I will open up the muffler hole more and maybe trim 1/2 inch from the back of the cowl all the way around.
