<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think you are refering to the HydeOut. To the
best of my knowledge the HydeAway was offered 2 ways, semi ARC with sheeting on
flying surfaces done and a composite fuse by ZN line. The second version was all
wood built up from Japan, very light and high quality. I knew of one here on the
east coast that blew apart in flight. The HydeOut is substantially smaller than
the HydeAway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've spent many hours weighing componets, hardware
and taking weights during construction while building my soon to be finished
EMC2. I also recorded some of this information on Dave's HydeAway. I hope to
share this information as an article in the KFactor later this year. Like the
tachs that have a built in 500 rpm head start, there seems to be an abundance of
scales that start at minus numbers or defy gravity.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>Sorry, not knocking the build quality here at all. However, there
are two types of kits, the ones that are fairly well finished, i.e. wings
skinned etc, and the base kits where you simply get the foam cores, carbon
fiber wing tubes, formers etc.i.e no wood apart from gear mounting plate.
Which one was yours?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to see one that is at 9.5lbs on a
scale in person. This kit was built as lite as I could not only that but
have a OS140rx that has shed 2oz through mod's The only thing that ads some
extra weight is I used a bladder tank.</FONT></DIV>

at the weight. 9.5lbs seems to be the norm for this one. Still
I personally like them a bit heavy, better in wind.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just got
back from putting the maiden flight on my Hydeaway.I would like to thank
Ed Miller for driving the hour and a half to stand by my side during
this event. He is also the person who did the beautiful paint job. I
would also like to thank Lance Robins for the graphics and I would
especially like to thank Troy Newman for all the help and advice during
the building process.</FONT></DIV>
