How much weight can be eliminated by routing 1" spars? My GN-1 has solid 1" sparsand seems to me to be overkill. I wonder what I could expect to save inweight by routing a la Piet.DJ VeghN74DVwww.imagedv.com/aircamperGFYJF ----- Original Message -----

A search of the matronics Pietenpol archives indicates 8 (likely) lbs at theleast and 10-15 at the (unlikely) most.----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: routed sparsDJ,I routed my spars on 41CC.Never worked so hard, made a bigger mess and accomplished so little as that operation. This time my spars are 3/4 as beforeand they will remain 3/4. I'll save some weight elsewhere. Less than 4 lbs if I remember. Just my 1 cent thrown in but I still remember that messy task.Corky________________________________________________________________________________
