[NSRCA-discussion] New Prestige Flight

[Ed Deaver]

My Prestige came in at 9lbs 2 or 6 oz. Can't remember which with a YS 140DZ and 9411 on ail, 8411's on rudder and elev (CF Pushrod set up).  I actually switched to a Nicad 5 cell battery and for a while added 1/2 lb of weight on the wing tube, but took the extra weight off later after switching to the nicad.

  I don't think anything else available comes close the the flying weight of 
the Prestige, except maybe the Vivat, so they basically can't operate at 
lower settings. The engineering and craftsmanship at Wistmodel are world 
class and as far as I'm concerned, they set the standard that all others 
should aspire to.
  
  Ed what is the flying weight of your Prestige?
   
  My Integral is in at 10 lb 8 oz. It probably would be less if set up for masters sequences.
  I have a lot of weight in the nose (9 oz) for my intermediate sequences and my skill level.
  If I took the servos out of the stab and moved them to the CG the model would weigh in at just under 10 lb
   
  Of course the quality of the Integral is not that of the Prestige. I agree the Prestige is a step above the rest.
   
  Are you at the NATS?
