The weight won't be noticeable as i weighed what i took off and put on
The Three wheels including metal wheel Legs Weighed 75 Grams
The Two Retracts including wheels Weighed 90 Grams
Approx Weight of Foam Removed was Replaced with the Addition of two New plastic Threaded Bolts to secure Main Wing On Securely which you may notice just above Retract Wheels.
I haven't removed front nose wheel arm and rod to servo yet so i Guess that would be another 8 grams
My Main Concern was getting the Retracts as close to the Front as Possible to avoid nose Tipping on Take offs and Landings.
Which would make it Suck Totally.
Fingers Crossed its Enough as i cannot go any Further.
Hoping It will Fly Nicely with the Stock Motor as there will be no Wheel Drag In Flight.
I do Have a 1050 Kv Motor which is a lot lighter that will Suit T28, Replacing the Stock 960kv heavy Motor but still using Stock T28 Prop If i have an Issue of nose Tipping Down on Take offs and landings and need to lose some extra nose weight.
But Then ill Probably Need to Adjust Lipo To Get Cg Right Again.
Looking Forward To Giving It a Test Flight To See If I got It Right or Not.

What Do You Mean Theres a Throttle Curve ?, Its Either all the way up or all the way down
