<DIV>Ron, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can lose 175 grams approximately by switching to the TP 5000, or the 5300's. <BR>Switch to carbon gear, carbon prop, carbon spinner, lighter wheels, and not trying to push my brand, but the Airtronics ele servos I use, and also the aileron servos I use will save you also. Granted all this stuff will cost you a lot of money (which starts the conversation again about light things costing more than heavy things, lol.. )</DIV>
<DIV>I can go into more detail on what you could save, but I'm tired and have to go to bed. Email me if you want more info. I could detail the weights for you. </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I’m in the process of glassing and painting a Focus II. Why because this was my first attempt at glassing and painting and I thought this would be a good test bed. This will also be my first electric pattern plane. I knew going in that making weight would be extra hard in my case. If I don’t make weight I won’t be crushed but I want to give it my best shot. The following weights are mostly estimates and I haven’t settled on any of the equipment listed so I’m still open for suggestions. I will be flying intermediate and advanced next year.</SPAN></FONT></P>
