Hi Guys.... i recently purchased this and i built it as light as i think i could... and it comes in weighing @ 31.4#!!!!!!!!!

here is a link to the plane
http://www.cmpairplane.com/aerobatic...gasengine.html

3W 106ib2
02ea rudder servos with airwild servo mount JR 8711
02ea elevator servo JR8711
04ea ailerons servo HITEC 5955
01e throttle servo HITEC 5625
power box expert with 02ea switches
02ea 5600mah 7.4v Li-on
28x10 carbon spinner and prop
40oz fuel tank


The wing spar weighs 590grams!!!!!!!.. will change it to a CF one... but will a plane this heavy be able to do 3D and hover? please advise how to lighten this plane... it had a fibreglass fuse and built up stabs.... do i really need the power box? can i just use a voltage regulator?... one of those dualsky regs with a fail safe?...

im planning on changing to a CF wing spar, a 32oz tank and one 8711 on the rudder.. also wanna get rid of the powerbox and put a dualsky reg for the rx.... any ideas?

It states on the link that you posted that the weight is 30#. 1# shouldn't make a big difference on a plane that size.
