Thanks Niklas!

Note from the workshop. I earlier recommended that you could/should use Titebond-III as an alternative to PU-glue when doing the tub-side laminates, now I don't. I did some initial testing and it looked good but when doing some full-size testing the laminates done with Polyurethane glue is simply better. The laminates gets stiffer also. Use PU and nothing else. Sorry for guiding you wrongly... h34r:

Thanks, I'm quite happy with them. Hope the T2-21 builders world wide will be as happy with theirs.

Having just built 3 of these myself I can see that the reinforcings for the deck are on the wrong side. ^_^

Hi Niklas

I am enjoying building from your plans. Thank you for all of the information you are sharing with us.

I am wondering what the final weight will be and is there someone making any cowls for it?

Thanks

Olly

Hi Olly, Thanks.

The final weight on my own built T2's are around 1650 g RTR with NAVIGA numberplate & prop but no fuel. Your final weight depends on how good you are in building and what parts you add. I would guess it's quite easy to add 150 g when all small things add up so to speak...

Cowls: not as of now.
