| Solid wing tips and first pass at sanding everywhere. Weight of everything minus covering is now 8.32oz (236 grams), AUW might end up pretty close to 9oz. |

| Hmm ...What is the wing span of this again? How much weights the motor? |

| It's a marvel! Pure genuis! I wish I could see it race! |

| The motor is 26.5 grams (0.94oz) and the prop and adapter are 14.6 grams (0.52oz). Guillow's says the kit is 27.75" in wingspan but I measure 27.5". |

| must be a case of too much sanding at the wing 'roots'. Guillow's can't be mistaken,, can they? |

| In this case I think Guillow's is off a bit. I measured the plans for the wing to be 27 5/8" with no dihedral. So I find it hard to see the wingspan ever being any larger than that. |
