No new photos yet but fibreglassing all finished.
Weighed the plane today including electrics,motor and battery and she is about 150grms
heavier than what the instruction guide that came with the plane states.
Now this is using a much more powerful motor and bigger battery than original so it's not
simply saying that this is all F/G.
I still have to paint the model but going on my other models that will not add much more
weight. As it is already fibreglassed I should not have to put 4 coats of polyurathane on
top. I'm guessing just 1 coat over the paint to seal in the colour.
I intend to paint it tomorrow so will have a better idea then.
