I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Covering the wing adds just 4 grams. If I estimate the fuselage covering will also be 4 grams then the whole covering job is just 9.5 grams (0.33 oz), this puts my AUW estimate at ~8.6 ounces (not including any paint, decals, or scale details).

I'm pretty sure I'll be going with this color scheme. Too bad I did not get any red or black Solite, I will have to paint those areas.

Covering the elevator and horizontal stabilizer adds 0.9 grams. It is difficult to extrapolate that weight to the entire plane to guess the AUW, but I am encouraged by how light the covering is.

Covering the rudder and vertical stabilizer adds a paltry 0.4 grams. Solite is just the ticket for a small plane like this and I'm glad James suggested I use it.

Solid wing tips and first pass at sanding everywhere. Weight of everything minus covering is now 8.32oz (236 grams), AUW might end up pretty close to 9oz.

I thought I would upload a picture of our club's pylon racers with the tail wheel attached to the rudder as Poppy described in the previous picture.

The weight of the fuselage is 5.5 oz with all electronics. I estimate the weight before covering to be around 8 oz. I wanted a AUW of 10oz (~70 watts/lb) but had hoped to get 7-8oz. Unless I do some serious wood removal I'll be closer to 10oz AUW.

I went with the pull-pull setup to the tail wheel and a push rod to the rudder and elevator. Most of this gets covered as is and will require cutting into the covering if a repair or adjustment is needed.
