I've seen his plane in person several times and he was very informative, I think Mike might have misspoke when he mentioned the overall weight is 60 pounds. I think I heard him say over 100 pounds like 140 or so. Not to start any debate just to make sure guys don't get totally freaked out over the apparent light weight.

I helped turn it over with only Mike and myself it it was no where near 100lbs. Electrics are much lighter as you don't have to build as much structure to handle vibration and such. My Whirlwind is only 35 lbs RTF with batteries and it is a twin with a 117 inch WS.

By the way I can't believe the camera still works.  And now at home the Wildcat has spark, unbelievable. __________________ 29% Allen Jungmiester Bates 1/4 Claude 1/5 Westland Whirlwind building 1/4 Hawker Fury Bates Oscar Brewster Buffalo Macchi C200   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search
