Question please do not know for sure but we have weight limit of 82 lbs on our planes in Canada. If you go above that you are no longer insured and you need permission by Maac to fly at a sanctioned field. How are the rules in the USA.

Over 55 pounds requires inspection and permitting when flown at an AMA field.

Just weighted it. fuselage,wings cowl,wheels without engine,covering,radio and scale accessories. 35lbs I am still hoping for the 55 to 65 range. Roger you may be right it can easy make the 100 pound mark. Time will tell. I am looking a LED light for the wings and a strobe for the rear.

If the wheels on the bench are for that plane you can lose a good chunk of weight by going with some foam one's.

These are the Dubro 8" threaded lightweight wheels. I tried the 7" sullivan Large skylite wheels that I had on my scaled up Weeks Solution X they look a little small on this one. Wing rib for the next fall project. hopefully after the design stage. I am getting ready to start installing radio gear and wiring in the wings.
