HI again


Loads to think about there then,,
If i see what your are saying then the weight is the key here and need to get it down to around 6-7lb max
i was looking at 60 rcv four stroke in the plan but that is a heavy power plant in its self .the wing could be a foam core and that might save a bit of weight, also undercarage and wheels could loose some weight i was planning to cast a glass fiber undercarrage myself so not sure on the outcome weight of that ,,

my estermated weight of 8lbs is an absolute max flight weight fully fueled up and ready to go.
so i will be keeping a close check on the build weight and try to get it lower


thanks for your infomation.
