[NSRCA-discussion] Was Mini Brio, Now Pattern Longitevity

[brett terry]

The new ZDZ40 F3A version looks nice.  It should be in the 43 oz range with
ignition, plug, and all hardware so figure another 4 oz for battery and
switch and 10 oz for a quiet pipe.  This leaves 7 lbs 7 oz for the rest of
the airframe.  And an 11# plane with this much power on tap could fly a long
time with an 8 - 10 oz tank over the cg.

If Mark Hunt's Insight can weigh 9.5# with the YS 1.40, it just might make
weight with this engine.
