    Wow, that's impressive weight savings. If this frame doesn't work out, I'll try using arrow shafts, that sounds like a good idea.

    Hey check out my blogs,  I did the same thing,  I have since moved to foam and arrow shafts.  I save so much weight I now can fly with 2 batteries and still about 15 grams lighter than my AL frame.
