[NSRCA-discussion] Brio 10

[Richard Strickland]

W/O batts, mine was about 23.5 oz and the FMA 2000s are about 6.  About that
time, my wife was wanting birthday tips/hints from me and it occurred to me
I have been using a postal and baby scale for say, oh.. for about 40
years(can't believe I've been addicted to this, this long..) and said ' Hey,
Honey, how about a nice, inexpensive Acculab electronic, zero-outable,
digital scale, 4100gr cap. unit (80 bucks) and adapter(20)?'  I'll try to
remember to weigh it tonite and give it to you in grams.....

Eddie,

mine with a TP 2100 battery and the pull-pull elevator balances at the
recommended point and weighs 31 oz..  I ould suggest reinforcing the
elevator connetor rather than adding a servo...I haven't flown mine yet.
