Hey Sparky,

I'm surprised you don't think that's to heavy. Probably about 670 squares with a PA 75 in it. Always bragging. I'm gonna let you by wood for me and paint my airplanes, maybe then I'll get a light one.

Bob  I thought 72 ounces was light for you, compared to the orange PM United.   LL~  How is the PA 75 United coming along?

Hey Matt,

Projected weight so far is 72-73 oz. If I'm careful I should make it. It's not that it's heavy for PM aerodynamics, it's just a lot to hold onto in a severe wind.

Cheers,

Bob

Can't fathom flying a 70+ ounce airplane, it's all I can do to keep a 60 ouncer from pulling me over. Of course could be most of you guys have a leverage advantage, 6 foot and 145 pounds is pretty easy to throw off balance.  LL~

Hello Bob Reeves,

See since I'm only 5'8 the wind goes right over my head. So I do have an advantage over you. However I would tell you that I would rather have a 60 oz ship. that 12 oz is almost like a pond more.

Remaining yours in STUNT,

Bob "Champione" Lampione.

PS: I wouldn't want you guys to think I'm missing the "Super Bowl".  I have a TV right next to my computer.
