It all depends on how heavy (or light) you build the fuselage and tail sections. Also the position of and type of radio system you use. A broad guess would be 4-8 ounces. Mike Clancy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL

Lee, don't worry about itthe plane is such a floater that the weight your concerned about won't really matter. I've flown and built 2 of them back in the 70's.Don't get bored with all the air time you'll get. I've built and flown all of Ed's planes other than Paramount. All great.

I may be missing the mark here, as I don't own a Stylus...but since you mentioned the 'Glider' card, I wonder if you need to use it in Aircraft (powered) mode, so the the throttle stick will know it's for the throttle and not for spoilers/flaps/etc that are assigned to glider functions? -

2000-11-12 Thread Roy Cole
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first scale plane. I've kinda narrowed it down to two models. The I-26 foamie form DAW and the ASK-21 2m kit from ICARE. I know they are totally different but the price of the I-26 is what gets me. Has any one flown any of these? Is the performance of the ASK-21
