Default flying brick?

I JUST weighed out my 50 inch dynaflight p-51 , should be about 6 lbs. pound and a half over specified.
I added strength to the wing and added front and rear wing attatchments( dowels, and a wing bolt).
also dual servs. I MAY have a too heavy plane , good thing i didnt glass it.


does any one build to exact weight specified?

Sometimes I come in under the minimum list weight... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Just be careful with it at low speeds (it may not fly at low speed...) Let it build plenty of airspeed before lifting it off the gound, take it high and find out its stall characteristics and how slow it will safely fly. Remember that speed when making landing approaches.
