<DIV>Far better way to build that model, if you know how to sheet the cores
yourself. There's more savings to be had in the rudder and stab builds also.
Some of the fuses were heavy so you may need all of that savings. If your fuse
(+canopy and cowl) is somewhere less than 36 ozs, you will be
fine</DIV>

<DIV>I just got the cores with the kit. I got some really good wood from
Lonestar. And yes that includes the ailerons. It came out to 333 grams or
11.75 oz covered with aileron.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is a good weight for wing panels ready
to cover? My Temptation panels weigh 266 and 267 grams ready to cover.
That's 9.41 and 9.42 oz. Is that too heavy?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks,
Tom</FONT></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>That's a good weight Tom, especially if it includes the ailerons.
Anything under 10 ozs for a 500 sq in panel, ready for covering, will work
well. The lighter the wing, the more precise the stopping. It
simply gives you margin in aileron maneuvers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If that's the weight that came in the pre-fabbed kit, then you probably
win the prize for the lightest prefabbed panels around. About 12 ozs
has been typical for those.</DIV>
