Default RE: Vertigo II Build Thread

I have some weight data for the Vertigo:

Wing- complete ready to fly- 2 Lb, 12 oz.
Fuselage w/ covered rudder, stab, elevators & pushrod- 2Lb, 4oz.
Remainder of radio gear- 10oz.
Engine & muffler- 1Lb, 12oz.
= 7Lb, 6oz.

Unweighed stuff: Prop, Spinner, elevator pushrod, throttle pushrod, servo plate, etc: est. Approx. 8-10oz.

So I am looking at right around 8 Lbs dry. Not bad at all. That is a full pound less than my last one. Now I am sanding off the rather thick gel coat from the fuselage. I am going with the weigh of the gelcoat will wash for the weight of the paint that will replace it.
