[NSRCA-discussion] Help Me Loose Weight

[Ron Hansen]

I'm in the process of glassing and painting a Focus II.  Why because this
was my first attempt at glassing and painting and I thought this would be a
good test bed.  This will also be my first electric pattern plane.  I knew
going in that making weight would be extra hard in my case.  If I don't make
weight I won't be crushed but I want to give it my best shot.  The following
weights are mostly estimates and I haven't settled on any of the equipment
listed so I'm still open for suggestions.  I will be flying intermediate and
advanced next year.
