Empennage paint weight
Hi I need some guidance. I'm building a 9 and trying to keep the weight down, have read all the posts and really appreciate the valuable info.
I have a question on how much my paint weights, I am using single stage with a primer under and have finished the all the empennage components.
Is there any numbers available on the unpainted weight of the empennage pieces either assembled or free standing. I wanted to match the unpainted weight to my painted pieces and see how my paint coverage is working out and how much weight I have added.
I will use a FP light prop with the O-320 engine. So I figure because I will be light way up front I don't any extra empennage weight that would need to be offset. I plan on buying the lightest good quality tailwheel to help.
Thanks for any numbers, looking forward to seeing how I'm doing with trying to keep the painting light.
