Yea, I did weigh the part by hanging it. I weighed all the parts at the same time so the other weights were ok. I don't think it was because of static. The wing is just as stiff as any of the heavier wings ive built in fact stiffer. I dont know why it came out so light.

I agree with Brett.
If you covered the wing/tail with OS 'roofing felt', these weights
seem extremely light to me. Did you weigh the components hanging
vertically rather than flat? And, are you sure the weighing
procedure wasn't affected by static?? The only other thing I can
think of is that you forgot to put enough wood into the structure
<g>.
Nick Aikman..
Tim, your wing seems very light to me, mine are about .24 to .26
without any covering, and about .34 or .35 with OS film. Perhaps
this is where you're off.
