Carbon Fiber weight savings measurements?
Hi all,
Has anyone weighed each component (Main Gear, Wing tube and Tail Wheel) and could post the weight of the metal versus CF version of each? I'm looking at these for a 50cc model so those are the one's I'm interested in. I'm not wild about CF mains but the wing tube would be nice and wouldn't change balance... just wondering how much each piece would save me in weight. TNX

You're wrong Tom...a CF stab tube makes your wallet lighter
