Can I ask again for some of you who have built the extended wing 
(~34") wingspan bug to weigh the wing.  It might be helpful to us all 
to have a benchmark weight for the wing at least.
On Tuesday I got a 4:55 minute flight with the heavy receiver (4.1 
ounce flying weight).  Wednesday I got a 4:47 minute flight with a 
GWS receiver (3.8 ounces flying weight) although wednesday's flight 
was much higher.  It amazes me how well this glider flies.
