[SPAM] Re: wing panel weights

Thanks for the info Bill.  We've actually had a few decent flying days here recently, up in the high 40's and flyable.

  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.?

    Just wondering what a good weight is per wing panel, sheeted, ready to cover for a typical 2M ship?  I've got 3 of 4 panels done at this point for a pair of Temptations and they're 10.6 oz each.  These seems good to me, but I have to admit to this being my first experience in doing a modern pattern airplane from scratch.  I'm at least pleased that I managed to get the weights the same for each panel so far.  High, low, just about right?

    Thanks
