Bird of Time build, shooting for 40 oz or so weight on this plane. Looking for a floater and think this may be ideal!<\/p>\n

Initially wasn’t going to add spoilers and spoiler servos, but upon discussion with Tom G changed my mind. This will likely add another oz to the weight but apparently these BoT’s will speck out quite easily and then I’ll appreciate the “lift dumpers”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sept 8\u00a0\u00a0 WEIGHTS<\/p>\n

Fuse, Canopy root ribs\u00a0 285 G<\/p>\n

Wings and joiner Rod\u00a0\u00a0 476 G<\/p>\n

Stab and Rudder\u00a0\u00a0 49 G<\/p>\n

Battery servos receiver etc\u00a0\u00a0 204 G<\/p>\n

Spoiler servos\u00a0 24 G<\/p>\n

Misc Balsa Sheet for rest of wing 90 G<\/p>\n

Total 1128 G<\/p>\n

Still missing leading edge, and likely a few other smaller pieces, including Ultracote<\/p>\n

Therefore I need to do some more sanding\u00a0 If I want a 40 OZ\u00a0 1135 G BoT<\/p>\n
