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.
