Default RE: Which is lighter?

Hi Mtcarey

It is similar.

For two pieces wings :
I did wings foam/balsa sheet, ribbed wings. So weight is about 450 g (15,87 onces) totaly finished (oracover, servo, quick link ..) without carbon tube
I had composite wing (painted in the mold) planes Rhapsody and Cocaine. Weight are 470 g (16,58 onces) with servo, quick link ...

There is an exception as one piece wing made by CPLR foam and brown paper (weight about 700/750 g (24,7/26,45 onces).
