Announcing New 1/3-Scale Kit ~ Schweizer TG-3 by Peter Goldsmith Design

[Pgoldsmith]

Prototype was 28lbs 4oz. Flew extremely light. This was 70% painted model so would be a little lighter us using Ultracote.
Weight range is 27-29 depending on finish used.

Peter will need to confirm this, but he told me it was in between the weight of the Swallow (20-21 lbs) and the 1-26 (29-30lbs)...so somewhere around 24-25 pounds. He has since flown it and adjusted the CG to suit his style, so we will need his input on the final AUW.

So...How much did it weigh in final configuration?

[Larry A]

I am already on the list and glad of it. :-)

[BryanB]

Fine, put me on the list...

[Pgoldsmith]

I like your thinking Bryan...😜

[BryanB]

Dang it Peter! You're killing my model airplane budget. I may have to get one of these too!

[Pgoldsmith]

Awesome. After flying it I wouldn’t change a thing. I used the rear C of G Mark, real floater at that location. Little better directional stability at the forward location. Both c of G’s can be achieved using the ballast box. I’m using 2 x 4000mah Spektrum life packs mounted forward of the front dash.
if you want to stay up in light lift, this is the model, stays up on very little lift.
also has decent penetration for its type..

Congrats on successful maiden! Any quirks or interesting behaviors?

[Pgoldsmith]

Test flight was successful. Now to start manufacturing...

[JoeN]

Finish the Foxbat then onto the TC3. Oh yea. What's not to like? Way to go, Pete.
