I'm new to trying to think in grams per inch but I basically strip to the width that I think is close to what I need. Then I figure the grams per inch and adjust the cut as necessary.

Cool-- thanks!
Another newbie question. I noticed lots of people are posting their motor sizes using a length and weight in grams as you did below. How do you cut a motor to a gram size, as opposed to setting a stripper to a certain width?

I built Gary Hodson's Wart with the lightest wood I have and Gampi tissue, but have no idea what it weighs because I don't have a gram scale. It's my first try at A-6 and my first try at any true duration models for about 15 years, since I was a kid fooling around with Parlor Mites & EZBs.
