They are about 7 grams IIRC, Joe. His fuse was built with light wood, around 5# or so and is really too weak for kids, breaking too often. My yellow one used somewhat stronger wood, not sure on density, but it hasn't broken yet. It flies better with the 6" prop assembly, but we used the 5.5" all weekend.

I've done OK with the Cub, needs a blob of clay on the front, plus trim tabs and stab tilt. I typically use an old LPP motor on it and wind the bejeezis out of it. But I only figured this out after several years of flying when I pulled one back out of the box and tried it again. As a 'newbie' returnee I couldn't get it to fly at all.

Regards.
