wing panels

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Far better way to build that model, if you know how to sheet the cores  
yourself. There's more savings to be had in the rudder and stab builds also.  Some 
of the fuses were heavy so you may need all of that savings. If your fuse  
(+canopy and cowl) is somewhere less than 36 ozs, you will be  fine

I just got the cores with the kit. I got some really good wood from  
Lonestar. And yes that includes the ailerons. It came out to 333 grams or  11.75 oz 
covered with aileron.

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.
