It's been 3 months Tony, but I believe I mixed a total of 150 grams for
each side of the rudder. I mixed 100 first, and a 50 gram batch, and
probably wasted 10-30 grams. Not including slurry. I went out and weighed
all my parts tonight and here it is:
rudder-1828.0 grams with hinges and a taillight fairing.
tailplanes-3893.6, 3901.0 grams without tabs, but with bushings.
tabs-470.2, 468.9 grams with hinges.
aileron-1176.5grams with hinges, without balances.( other one has balances
installed.)
flaps-2810.4, 2822.1grams with FL 1,2 and 3 installed.
In the # 5 issue of the Europa newsletter, the weights were quoted as,
fin-1.588kg, rudder-1.814kg, tailplane-3.94kg, tab-0.43kg.
Being a Yank and all that, my metric is a little rusty, but I think your
weight of 1535 grams is 1.535kilograms, and is within limits. I weigh all
my parts on a electronic sartorius scale, accurate to 1/10 of a gram in
5000. grams. Let me know how your next layups go. Hope this helps.
