What is a good weight for wing panels ready to  cover? My Temptation panels 
weigh 266 and 267 grams ready to cover. That's  9.41 and 9.42 oz. Is that too 
heavy?
thanks, Tom



That's a good weight Tom, especially if it includes the ailerons. Anything  
under 10 ozs for a 500 sq in panel, ready for covering, will work well. The  
lighter the wing, the more precise the stopping. It simply gives you  margin in 
aileron maneuvers.
 
If that's the weight that came in the pre-fabbed kit, then you probably win  
the prize for the lightest prefabbed panels around. About 12 ozs has been  
typical for those.
