Jerry,

Even with this same paper, it is near impossible to build an A6 down to weight.
I have 3.6# fuse/tailboom. 3.9# ribs. 4.1# spars. 3.6# for prop sheet.
My model is still 1.3 grams.

This is what we want beginners to start with? $50 worth of wood ordered from Nick Aikman?

If we could knock 200mgs off the covering by using OS film, we'd actually be able to use hobby shop wood and still possibly make weight, like a beginner would.

I'd be far more likely to point beginners to an LPP anyway.
Far easier to build and get close or even under.

Regards.
