Ira, Sorry, I thought my gel coat reply was going to Brian rather than the
group, but since it has raised the point of weight it may be worth saying a
bit more:
Just under 16 kg of gel coat was used on my plane, but then I
sanded much of that off, I guess at least a half, possibly two thirds. Do
you or does anyone have the weight of materials put on with more
conventional systems if you tot up undercoats, U/V coats and top coat? My
914/VPprop/fullpanel/Navaid/lined and upholstered mono grossed at a weight
which puts it towards the bottom of the 914 weights recorded in the Europa
Club list so it presumably wasn't a significant penalty, if any at all.
Regards, David G-XSDJ
