wing weight of HP 14

[John Firth]

My RHJ -8 uses HP 14 wings; I have only a rough idea of the root and tip
weights, needed for trailer design.
Would some obliging owner supply known values.
Thanks

But John, they really are not HP-14 wings !
Give me a couple of days and I'll try climb in the trailer with a scale...
Best Regards, Dave (owner of a very dusty RHJ-8)

John - We dragged out the trailer and weighed a wing this AM.
Root - 119 lbs (including about 4lb for root dolly)
Tip - 62 lbs (no dolly)
Mine has quite a lot of filler on it (feather fill is in fact heavier than
feathers)...
Hope this helps,
Best Regards, Dave

PS: Want to copy my trailer ? Doubles as a home-away-from-home if need be.
I built it back in '79, perhaps you saw it lsat time you were here ?
