I suppose that 4# (+ or - a bit) could be expressed in ounces, but it
really IS 4 pounds. I've gone to a lot of effort to get the pounds off my
airframe and engine but I succumbed to the .125 angle even thou it it less
than my imposed limit of saving weight at the rate of $100 per pound.
Decided FINALLY to wet the wing instead of building tanks. I think it'll be
easier, I KNOW I'll save 2-3 #.

I was kicking that wetwing thing around, and I'd do it if the skin were .020 or .025, but at .016 I think I'll stick to the separate riveted tank, but extended for more fuel. But then I have to admit John, I do not have as long ( or even any ) of a history with experimentals as you, maybe when I build my CH650
