<DIV>Jason don't you think the lighter Integral flew much slower and presented
better then the ones weighing a 1/2 lb more? </DIV>
<DIV>I think an Integral weighing 11 1/2 to 12 lbs would be a much different
beast in the air.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I built and flew 2 Integrals. The first one I built finished at 10 lbs 12
ozs.</DIV>
<DIV>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.
</DIV>
<DIV>Integral #1 has better then 400 flights on it and is starting to loosen up
some! :>)</DIV>
<DIV>In the retrofit I was able to reduce it's weight by 2 1/2 ozs.</DIV>

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.</FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
