Thanks Bob

I weighed up the wing. The old wing panel that was still in one piece weighed in at 1-3/4 pounds with paint and No retracts or servos. So given the other wing was about the same. that puts the old wing at 3-1/2 pounds.

The new wing without paint retracts or servos is 1-1/4 pounds. Given they are both the same weight, That puts the new wing at 2-1/2 pounds. I doubt very much that I will have a pound of paint on the new wing. So bottom line is I will loos at least 1 pund of weght with the new wing.
The plane flew great before. It should do better with a pound less on the wings. I had a Simjett 2300 in it before and the overall weight dry was 23 pounds. I am going to try it with my Wren MW54 that is putting out 14.5pounds. Should do pretty good with weight withthe lighter motor and new wing. I hope to be no more than 19- 20 pounds max weight .
