Looking good guys, do you think the weight of the carbon reinforcement and glue might be about the same as the foam removed ? I've done a lot of foam cutting only to find minimal savings.

Thanks

I agree Albert. The only time I do it is if I'm a bit tail heavy and I've done everything else to move the CG forward.

Got a question: Are there any quality differences in these 2 kits worth mentioning. Wood selection, foam cutting, fiberglass, prints...I'm very familiar with the Aerotech kit and have built the 40% Yak they offer. Was wondering if Dalton is similar or maybe a level better???????IM's work also, thanks Walt

The only CF on the rudder will be a 3/16 strip on both sides of the trailing edge. The 12" X 48" of .014 CF sheet I have weighs 6oz. I don't think this method will drop as much weight as what Tony does but I don't want open bays when the plane is coverd. It looks like I can get about 2oz out of the tail and about 6-10oz out of the wings. My main objective with the wings is to get any possible weight out of the tips. I flew pattern about 15 years ago and the honeycomb wings were noticable lighter than the solid core wings but they did not have any CF in them.

Looking good Jonus !
are there many differences from the 260 to the 300, the plans look the same.

PS: tell Jeremy Hi

give me an address to send my wings and stabs to so you can core them for me --LOL

[sweetpea]

You should be building me a kit also~ for when I come to the SHARKS IMAC this year.

The AF isn't letting me move back for at least 1 more year. I hope both of yours fly as good as mine.

--Worm, you should have no problem with CG by putting servos in the tail. My 300 balanced pretty spot on.

Hey Dale,

The only differences that I am aware of are the wing is lowered around 3/8" to 1/2", the turtledeck is shorter, a 300 canopy and cowl and the fat leesburg(sp?) rudder.

[SleepyC]

Isn't it 3% less in size?

Whats the WS of the 42% 260 and the 39% 300?

JP,

When do they use "a 10cc syringe and a blunt 18 guage needle" in the hospital? I would be on the floor passed out if I saw that damn thing coming towards me, wow thats big. I have to get some of those, does clean work, like a caulk gun.
