I see we are talking 2 meters a bit well lets see the last Ruby that a Club member brought out to the field I think I herd it weighted about 50oz!!! Now we all no that a 2meter with this wing area must be I repeat must be about 40oz for a good wing loading maybe up to 44 oz would make a fair contest ship if you know how to get to a thermal very quick.. then your ok . Buy yourself the Orion it looks nice and its almost RTF.. now if you can build a Ruby in the 40oz range you got yourself a fine T.D ship but remember its hard to paint it up nice and pretty and still get it in the weight range thats needed for a good T.D> 2meter..
