And one of the few planes that can fly out of McCoy at the moment. When's the maiden?
Probably Saterday, Hopefully Kevin will be there as he's got the canopy and we should be right to go.
I weighed it this afternoon, it comes in at 1.4Kg well it's 1360g that allows another 40g for the canopy.
That gives us 50oz all up and with a wing that's 41"X9" that should mean a wing loading of about 20oz per sqft which is not too bad
