Approx Weights

[Andy Greene]

Trying to get an idea where I'm going to end up weight wise on my Atlas after the bottom mods(that work is 80% done-so I know where I'm at now). As of now I dont have a motor and pipe and some incidentals to actually weigh, so here I am. Approx how much weight are we adding to a hull that only has -stuff tube/bare radio box and rudder assem. installed ?? Ball park is fine- no need to break out the scales-LOL

Figure on- .67 engine/pipe /header- fuel tank(tanks)/ radio gear/servo's-( I usually run a 7 cell hump rec pack) prop/ flex shaft ext....

Thanks in advance,

Andy

12 to 16 lbs, alot depends on the type of hull, if this is your Atlas, you DONT want most of the weight at the transom.

Bare Hull + about 5.5# for running gear, paint will add another 1/2#+

I'm not looking for a completed weight- well sorta - I want to know how much I'm "adding" to the existing package as I stand. No motor/pipe/radio gear or fuel-

Right know with only the rudder/bare radio box/turn fin and stuff tube- I'm approx 7 3/4 to 8 lbs. Joe, I would like you to take a look at where I'm at on the bottom mod's this weekend if you don't mind ?? Rick actually said it looks OKAY so far- but its hard to tell in pic's.

OMG!! Rick that was FUNNY!! My sides still hurt from laughing!

A guy named Finch told me a long time ago weight is not always a bad thing......

....... I can't begin to tell how often that statement has been on the mark. B)
