I just finished framing up the results of the damage done at the contest. The plane that didn't fly well has donated the tail wheel asm. I sheeted the cored out fuse. with 1/16" balsa on a 45 degree bias so the grain forms an 'X' side to side. weight as it sits with engine and stock muffler and 6 oz. plastic tank is 34 oz. Some weight will be removed when I sand the fuse. but will be added when I re do the wing tips. I'm looking at high 30's for final weight and I have the muffler and wheel pants to play with to lighten it a tad more. I forgot the propeller so add one ounce to the total.
A couple pictures of the ARF El Camino too.
