[NSRCA-discussion] This email list is flawed in my opinion.

Jason don't you think the lighter Integral flew much slower and presented  
better then the ones weighing a 1/2 lb more? 
I think an Integral weighing 11 1/2 to 12 lbs would be a much different  
beast in the air.
 
I built and flew 2 Integrals. The first one I built finished at 10 lbs 12  
ozs.
The second one finished at 10 lbs 3 ozs. They flew like 2 completely  
different models. They presented differently, Vertical performance was  
dramatically different. I have just recently retro fitted Integral #1 to match  #2  
(moved the servos from the Stabs to a single servo mid ship) I was  unable to 
get the weight as low as #2 due to some extra epoxy in some areas I  could 
not remove. And some added epoxy in areas that needed some reinforcement. 
Integral #1 has better then 400 flights on it and is starting to loosen up  
some! :>)
In the retrofit I was able to reduce it's weight by 2 1/2 ozs.

No wonder I hated my Integrals... all of them (electric)  were 10lbs 12, 
14, 15.95ozs. Only my glow ones were 10lbs 4 and 8ozs....lol.  Just messing 
Carl. But we all know that flying electric will require lighter  choices in 
equipment for the most part. I learned that in 93. Titanium  anyone... my 
Rhapsody's had  some...lol.
