wing weight of HP 14
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 John firth |

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 Firth" wrote in message ...

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 ?
