wing panel weights

[Bill Glaze]

Ed: Looks to me like a very good number.  My Hideout came out at 15 oz. 
per panel, ready to fly, servos, linkage, et al, which made me happy.  
Of course, it was built by Dave Guerin; I don't know if I could do such 
a good job.  Surprisingly, I just realized I haven't weighed the wings 
of the Focus 1 or Focus 2,.  Maybe somebody else on the list has done 
so.  How's the flying weather been up in N.J.?
