How much will it weigh?

Wing (complete) including flaps and horns =14.75 oz, fuse =7.75 oz, elevator =2.5, hardware(engine,pipe,LG,ECT..)=21oz, paint=8oz what will it weigh?
Looks like I will fall short of the goal but it was a gallant effort.

Is the plane assembled? Does the wing weight include tip weight? Does the hardware include the prop? If not included these three could be 5 or 6 oz above what you have listed. Even at 60 oz for 740 sq inches it should still be a floater.

Not assembled but prop included.

I think some people are missing the point. The base line characteristics are set by the weight. A 5' Radius turn is hard to achieve when the model traveling at 60 mph that weighs 65 to 70 oz .
For the simple fact that a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
When the bulk Weight of the airplane is set in the nose and 10' out from CG the plane tends to turn or at least look to turn slow.You also have the span weight 30 or so inches from the point of teather. The overall scaling effect is compounded by the weight of the aircraft.
These plane don't turn like they use to. Thats what I'm looking for.

I predict ~60 ounces, all said and done. Somehow, the weight creeps in at the last moment.

I'm sure it will fly quite well. Be sure an post follow ups on it!
