Re: 43% Hyperlite Slick 540.. Build By Brad
Beautiful job on the build and all the info and tips you gave to us all! Can't wait to see the final all up weight and to see this feather fly with that ZDZ112!
Thanks for another great build thread!

Re: 43% Hyperlite Slick 540.. Build By Brad
I have been getting messages about weight and wondering what this plane actually weighs.
So this evening I weighed all the parts, remaining wire, engine , exhaust ... everything. Also the air frame in sections. I used my digital desk scale for everything and then did the math. I am still missing a couple of items. The Kavan wheels, a few more graphics on route from B and E. And 30 small aluminum screws. 4-40 ' s and 6 -32's The weight I calculated is.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 lbs 2.72 ozs  The remaining missing stuff shouldn't weigh more than about 6 to 8 ozs So the final finished weight should remain below 25 lbs  Far exceeded my goal of 26 lbs WOOT HOOOO !!!!!!

Re: 43% Hyperlite Slick 540.. Build By Brad
Going to sneek in an update while everyone is mesmerized by Trevor's big watches and graphics
Engine is remounted Ignition is in throttle and choke set up Pipes back in Tank and jersey feuler valve is done Fuel and fill and vent lines plumbed Cowl back on with spinner and prop. Tomorrow I meet with Trevor to pick up my not as exciting graphics LOL Then I get my 5 inch kavan wheels back with new machined bushings in the hub that now have ball bearings in them.

Also installed guide tubes for the hi and low needle . That way I can tune the engine with the cowl on
