F-18--with 18" Wing span. How Much should it weight??
Guys,
I bought an Het F- 18 coming in the Mail. Then yesterday I was in a toy store shopping for present and saw a model f-18 with a 18" wing spand and 24" fulesage. It is look like very much to scale, but weights about 600G. I have drilled alot of the palstic and plan to cover it with packaging tape. Now the F-18 air frame weights about 230G and I will try to get it under 200G. My question is what should my total target weight for my Mini F-18 for it to fly? I guess my duct fan and motor give about 400 to 500G of thrust For this Mini f-18. The total weight is now 430G.
Het flys at 800 to 900G and 27.5"x35"
