so, some good news, i weighed what i have so far. the wings/stabs/vertical all all glassed, and most of the structure is in the airplane so far. i also weighed the retracts with struts. so far im up to 12.6lbs. thats not too bad, since my power system (fans/esc's/motors/batts) is about 12 lbs. so to hit 30 i have to keep the rest of the airframe and servos down to 5.4lbs. i figure ive got 1.40 lbs
