Motor and reciever installed. Note case removed from spektrum AR6100. So far the plane is framed up to 4.5oz or 126g (converted weight) with everything pictured below. Scale is accurate to .5oz so it could be lighter.....

That looks good dude! I have found out something that may be helpfull to you with the next foamy you build....The Cellfoam88 stuff is heavier than regular depron!
I just found that out a few weeks ago. I had been using cell foam on all of my foamies, but i was never able to get the weight down to where i wanted. Try depron, you will be suprised!

I believe he is using 3mm cellfoam, not 6mm like you're thinking.

HEY! Look at that, I'm 15 too (not for long )

Looks really good, and clean. You should check out an Emax 10 amp ESC. Mine works like a charm, and runs great, and stays cool with my Hacker A10-15S.
