Realized I am starting to run short on time to have this baby ready to launch by URRF 5 so I took the day off from work.
I laid out the AV bay covers and need to start drilling.
But since all the strakes are on, I also decided I needed to see what the "full stack" would look like.....
I had stuffed the tubes with the chutes, protectors, cords, links, etc. Still a few things missing but I have the majority.
Rocksim calculates the weight without motor would be 612 oz. My bathroom scale says 39 pounds = 624 oz. Not bad - only 12 oz heavier (<2%).
It will get heavier once I paint plus add the few missing items but at least I am in the right ball park!
Side note - something weird
I've been using my cell phone to take the pix and email them to myself. The pix above took 5~10 min to send. Then it disappeared from the outbox on the phone, but went into limbo. Nothing in my in basket. Waited another 5 min, still nothing. So I looked in my sent folder on my PC (not the phone). There was the email with the pictures. SO I copied them from there, About another 5~10 min later I got the notification that I had new mail that was the pictures, Just surprised how the email went into limbo for a while, but the PC had it as sent.
