with OS 140RX (somewhat <BR>> long) <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Not a
chance. There are far more/better ways to reduce weight than trying to
<BR>> paint flying surfaces instead of using iron on covering. Ask me, I
can tell <BR>> you what is the lightest AND most durable stuff you can
put into one of <BR>> these planes. I don't even want to think of the
hours I spent weighing <BR>> screws, washers, servo arms, etc. By just
spending about $200 you can <BR>> lighten your OS 140RX over 2 ounces !!
Who said pattern was expensive :). <BR>> I built a 1090 sq in ( wings are
over 500 squar! es each ), old school <BR>> fiberglass fuse with wood
crutch from f irewall to tail post, EMC2 at 4788 <BR>> grams, just a few
grams over 10lbs 8oz. It still has a brand F synthesized <BR>> rx, 5 cell
1100mah nimh battery pack, 16oz tank, wheel pants, aluminum <BR>> landing
gear and 2M pattern plane size digital servos. A CF ( ES ) gear <BR>>
over the Hanson 7075 aluminum gear is only a 12 gram savings if you are
<BR>> wondering. My next EMC2 will be lighter by molding my own
fiberglass canopy <BR>> ( current plane has a plastic canopy ), lighter
motor mount and the ES CF <BR>> landing gear. Target weight is 10lbs 5oz.
With all these composite fuse <BR>> planes around, it should be very easy
to build one at under 10lbs with baggy <BR>> coat wings. Of course it you
want to crowd the 11lb limit, go ahead and <BR>> paint. At the size
flying surfaces we have, unless you just have to have a <BR>> 20 foot
finish, iron on covering is the way to go. <BR>> Ed M. <BR>> <BR>>
