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 squares 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>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "George Kennie" <GEOBET@GIS.NET><BR>> To: "NSRCA Mailing List" <NSRCA-DISCUSSION@LISTS.NSRCA.ORG><BR>> Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 1:57 PM <BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] First day out with OS 140RX (somewhat long) <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > I'm pretty tempted to believe that you can do it for less than the <BR>> > weight of Monokote! <BR>> > G. <BR>> > <BR>> > I would like to see somebody paint a set of wings using just 2 ounce <BR>> > of <BR>> > total material, then I will start painting wings.
