Does anyone know the weight of the inner wing panels of any of the

ASG-29

Thanks,

OK, total them up and you've got about the same as
my inner panels. But, enquiring minds want to know,
why are you asking ? And why didn't you ask for
brochure and actuals ?

See ya, Dave

Curiosity. If I win the lottery, this information will be relevant.
Also, it is raining here, so what else to do?

How about 215 lbs for a wing panel on my Kestrel 19? I think my wings
alone are heavier than a complete ASG-29 (yeah, yeah, tongue firmly in
cheek).

NOT tongue in cheek: Each wing of my Speed Astir outweighs a Sparrow
Hawk.
