Something borrowed, whatever.

I finished the new Pathfinder on Wednesday. I put some paint on the wing bottom on Thursday and it's curing. I installed all the needed stuff and it's ready to go. I'm planning on a first flight Monday Sept 3. Before covering the plane I weighted all the parts including the covering with it's protective sheet and the cardboard core. I wanted to get a conservative estimate of the final weight figuring it would be lighter. 52.6 ounces said the scale. After everything was bolted on and ready to fly I put it on the scale again and got 52.0 ounces. Oh well. The paint scheme is a copy of another plane but in different colors that I borrowed from somebody else.
