Ryobi weight loss

My engine was too heavy for this plane. Made it a challenge to fly but eventually got it right. Notice the engine was DEAD standard. Wing area was about 860 sq in.

Just when I was really starting to have fun, the left aileron went into flutter and departed the plane during a high speed pass.
I couldn't hold it level and it sank into the deck. Rats! Bent the crankshaft!

Despite what other think, I'm sure the engine can be significantly lightened.
Anybody else done this?
