Title: My new plane
Post by: RC Storick on February 13, 2013, 11:56:01 PM: My electric stunt ship is about ready for paint. I will do a follow up in the painting section. total weight before color is 56 OZ. I am afraid it wont be a dazzling finish with only 4 OZ to do it in. But I did get to thinking that this plane is full of fuel so even if I came in at 62 OZ it would be a comparable plane to 54 OZ. I never really thought about it until I started this type program.

How does your battery hold-down work? Do you take out the two cap head bolts to remove the battery?

Just curious, it looks like your ship is coming along very well.

Thanks
Chris

Paint is what weighs. This plane even if I add 6 OZ from here would only be 62. I am thinking of another grey plane to save the weight.

That's a precision measuring device.
