Pico-J3-F

[t-turley]

Here's a shot of my newly completed GWS Pico-J3-F. With a 7C 300mAh NiCd, it tips the scales at 11 oz :( I did make a few modifications, the most notable one being the Dave Brown Lite Treaded Wheels. I also added a 3/32" dowel elevator joiner, as well as the CF tubes to replace the bamboo struts. If the weather around here cooperates, I'll fly it this weekend.

Get rid of the nicads and replace with 270ma Nickle Metal Hydrides (7 cells weight 64 grams) -- that is what I am using in mine. Bet you will save close to an ounce. Nice looking plane. Will post mine when I finish.
