Hello to All
I think there is a problem with weight. In my opinion, when the Kit is under ~2.300 Gramm, there is no Problem to build under 5 Kg. But the plane ist over 2.600 gr. Is this not a problem for Electric powerd. What is your opinion.

Hi Andreas,

Are you planning on getting an electric Neptuno? If in the affirmative, you may want to post your question again on the electric pattern plane forum. The US importer - Derek Koopowitz - is currently building the electric version. Here is the URL - http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9425255/tm.htm

Since mine is the glow version - with different construction - it is heavier than the electric one. However, even with the cdi unit and two elevator servos, it still came in under 5 kg. According to Derek's calculation, AUW for his e-Nep should be around 4,860 g.

Hope this helps.

Adrian
