My wings with fuel tanks came in at 50lbs. I do not believe 28lbs is
possible.....maybe with advanced carbon composites but they weren't around
in Ernst Koppe's newsletter days. I would like to know how it was done and
how safe and durable was the result. Got any data available (newsletter
number??). Saving weight is fine but not if your life depends on it.

....................snip > Phil M his wings came in at 50 lbs including
tank. I think it was Mark J his wings came in at 56lbs with US 12 gal tank
landing light etc. In an early KR newsletter someone's wings came in at
28lbs.
