In this area I have tried to bring together a number of published weight breakdowns for DLG style aircraft and components and also my data recorded so far.

I also include my calculations on how much various sized and profiled cores should weigh (and if I ever clean up the software I will publish a gizmo to calculate a core volume, area and weight from input of root and tip profiles (it will need the corresponding XXX.dat files), plan form data and foam density.
