FWIW, I'm with Stephan, if I see "crash" I assume that someone was at the
controls when the integration of the aircraft components became suboptimal
for future use...

Open your mind and you will find the true meaning...

No. 2 D-KFEM


Thanks.

That one was 100 kg lighter than No. 1. I wonder how much of
the weight reduction was due to weakening the fuselage.

The weight reduction was mainly in the wings, by using
a foam which absorbed less epoxy.

The web site says as much as 35kg per wing could be
saved with the new method. The rest (30kg) obviously
comes from a lighter fuselage.At 20:54 05 October 2003, Alex Chappell wrote:The weight reduction was mainly in the wings, by usinga foam which absorbed less epoxy.
