More Photos.... The Horizontal stab has anhedral. I chose the normal rudder (no split rudder option). Also provided are aluminum control horns for all the surfaces.

The following are the weights of the parts.

L wing panel /aileron 357 gr 12.6 oz
R. Wing Pane / aileron 354 gr 12.5 oz
L stab 93 gr 3.3 oz
R Stab 86.7 gr 3.1 oz
Rudder 77.9 gr 2.75 oz
Fuselage (no cowl, canopy) 981 gr 34.6 oz including all the reinforcements, bottom floor, carbon fibre front end
Cowl 95 gr 3.3 oz
Canopy 124 gr 4.3 oz
CF landing gear (Both) 124 gr 4.3 oz
wheel pants (both) 19 gr 0.7 oz
Wing tube 58.3 gr 1.99 oz
Stab tube 9.5 gr 0.3 oz
Wheels (2) 14.4 gr 0.51 oz
Side force generators at wing tips (both) 27 gr 0.95 oz

The wings and stabs are very very light. I will definitely used the SFGs on the wings. CA provided a very light weight fiberglass balsa faced firewall that I chose to replace with Fiberglass faced lite ply. Since I am running the OS200S-FI engine I needed the strength compared to the normal electric firewall design.

Overall it is coming together quickly and I have found no issues. The fit and finish are flawless. No projected final weight but I think it is going to be light.
