Closed | At the beginning of this year I got finally my Tanga from Bretamodel. This project, as far as I know, is cooperation result of Boehlen’s family (dedicated Tanga website), Norbert Habe and already mentioned Bretamodel. This species combination was for me promissing and I decided to build and fly this airplane. I will present here some hints from my model building.
First what I do, when I have new kid at home, I weigh it. It’s good to have both wing halves same weight, for example.
My Tanga empty (no modification) weights
- Fuselage 296g
- Ballast tube 21g
- V-tail (glass) 83g
- Wing joiner 125g
- Left Wing 593g
- Right wing 593g
- Sum 1710g
Using my standard bulding procedures I could expect final flying weight around 2150g.
