Thanks.
I might have a chance to weight it tomorrow.
I will post tomorrow with the weight. Feels like around 40 to 45lbs

Awesome brother! See you guys Thursday!!!
Sent the Sabre down to Henry last week. I got the wings completely done as well as the elevator set-up. That's about all I had the patience for!!
She'll be getting one of Sung's version 5.0 P-80's.

Superb pics by Billy. What engines are you using, Billy? Hope the maidens go fine for you guys. Ordered mine and still building the Yellow F-14.

How did you address the CG movement?

I always thought the best way to handle the COP movement in the models was to add some lead to the wingtips, so that when you swept the wings back, you also got a corresponding shift in the CG. Might be a little tricky determining how much lead, but it could help.
The other mix you'll want for sure, is one which reduces roll input when you sweep the wings back.
