It would have been way cooler if I would have been able to get my hands on the .75 oz. density foam, I would be sitting at around 24 lbs. like the kits will be. That is why it is a proto type, I think things will only get better from here.

Something of interest, This thing finished up will have a cubed loading in the 4s and that is in the sail plane catagory.

If we're using the same formula, that's less than my foamies (mid 5's normally)!

I like the prefabed holes in the wings. Now when you center punch the wing from ripping the gear out offroading you only have to a patch the covering

There is another selling point for you!



Great build though.........maybe one day when I stop moving all the time I can get a plane this size.

40-45 lbs planes flown great w/ DA150 for years, just a little more weight for this one. Sould be plenty , but the 4 banger is just too cool.
