Story about the Spectrum 33

http://www.spectrum.aero/downloads/m...elim_specs.pdf
Specs for the Spectrum 33

Single piece wing .............305 lbs
Fuselage ............................309 lbs
Engine ................................290 lbs
Engine ................................290 lbs
Total so far ......................1,194 lbs

Everything else [S-33].....2,426 lbs
Empty Weight ................3,620 lbs

Single place, single engine MontJet:
[Based on the Spectrum 33 numbers]

Wing .........................45 lbs
Fuselage ..................45 lbs
Jet engine ..............200 lbs?
Everything else ........60 lbs
MontJet Empty Wt .350 lbs
(Double the Empty Weight of the Cri-Cri)

PROBLEM:
I only allowed 60 lbs for "Everything else".

Granted the S-33 is a 10 place jet vs the single seater MontJet. Still,
their "everything else" is DOUBLE the weight of their
wings+fuselage+engine(s).

The MontJet "everything else" is only 1/5 (21%) the weight of the
wings+fuselage+engine.

Hmm.....?

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below"
