I am building a profile testbed to get things right before building a real airplane and I have a question on component weights. This beast will be powered by an OS46FX which is HEAVY but powerful. I am not the scientific type so I need some help answering a weight distribution question. By nature I build light. My .35 size planes were always under 40oz. Now I am in a totally different world and I don't know what things should weigh.
I don't like adding weight to get the CG right although it is almost always necessary.
The finished stab weighs in at 80 grams unfinished. I plan to use Monocoat so the finish will not be too heavy. Is this heavy for a stab on a plane this size (620 sq")? Is it better to add strength to the tail and fuselage knowing that I have a 14 oz of lead in the nose already.
