Gentlemen,
Thank you for the input. At the least now, I have some numbers to work with. I threw the class I on the scale with the engine, and tank, less the rest of the hardware and I'm hovering right around 2lbs. looks to be I'll be in that 3lb. range, so I think we'll move on with it. The goal is to have three planes ready for the season which should be a little on the tough side with 4 kids under 12. Going with the Nelson in profile ,class II? My father has his old Rossi .60 said he used to get really consistent runs with it but Carrier was a different animal then. I'm open to suggestion always, as I really do appreciate the help.
thanks again,
TOM
