GP Cap232 40
 
I have a GP Cap232 40 which is unbuilt as yet. i want to power it with a maxcim 32Y and gearbox.
what can i do to lighten the structure. so far i can only remove 2 small doubleres and leave the motor mount undoubled. is it worth glassing it ? suggestions

In my experience, far and away the biggest weight savings is made in equipment selection. Lighter servos, RX, Battery packs and motors. (I like the Maxcim motors. ) Lighting the airframe in this size acft. does not help a whole lot.

Any suggestions for servos? i already use light a Rx. i dont see a reasonable replacemtn for 20 2400 cells.
