Title: Weights of Various Components and Weight Saving Ideas
Post by: leshoman on December 28, 2013, 05:55:46 PM

Went thru some of my collected stuff and added it there.

Weight is a critical item when meeting the 253 pound limit.  
Saving and minimizing weights are critical.  
Little things like using aluminum AN washers in place of steel, 
not adding anything that is not on the plans.

Really good info - now I can see just how bad or good I have done - at least as compared to this reference.
Thanks for the work putting this together
