<div>Don,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have the glass version of the fuselage and mine weighs in at a hefty 41 ozs. Even with me building all of the periferral components (wings, stabs, etc.), I don't see how I could build the sucker at less than 10 1/2 for glow powerplant.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a lighter fuse out there that fellas are building into electric and make weight?</div>

<div>Scott, there are a couple threads about electric Brio builds. I built one myself, nice flying plane. Can easily be built under 11 lbs using TP5300s and AXI F3A, neither of which is the lightest alternative out there.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will look for the links on my home computer and forward to you if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch. I would also be happy to share what I did if you want.</div>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Does anyone have any information or even pictures of how they started their electric Brio? I have mine on the table but am totally stumped on what to do first. Also, other than Don Szczur's write up on RCU, are there any other Brio build sites that happen to have something about building one electric. <br>
<br>

Thanks!<br>
