color:#1F497D'>12 ounces is a bunch to lose on this diet. I think you need to look

at losing wood in the fuselage. Cut holes in the firewall, cut holes in the

bottom of the fuselage. You need to do this to get cooling air through the

airframe anyway, Take out all the unneeded wood &amp; foam you can get to. The airframe

doesn&#8217;t have to be as robust with electric power. CF gear would save an

ounce or so. You may not get to 5KG but whatever you can get out will make it

fly better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in the process of glassing and painting a Focus II.&nbsp; Why because this was

my first attempt at glassing and painting and I thought this would be a good

test bed.&nbsp; This will also be my first electric pattern plane.&nbsp; I knew

going in that making weight would be extra hard in my case.&nbsp; If I

don&#8217;t make weight I won&#8217;t be crushed but I want to give it my best

shot.&nbsp; The following weights are mostly estimates and I haven&#8217;t

settled on any of the equipment listed so I&#8217;m still open for suggestions.&nbsp;
