Greetings,

Has anyone weighed a complete, painted wing for a FireStar or FireFly? Just curious what it weighs for a possible future project.

Thanks,
Rusty

Anything is probably useful information, but I'm more specifically looking for the lighter wings, since it would be for an ultralight project. Was the Twinstar a 6" spar, or 5"?

Thanks,
Rusty

I'm almost certain they are 5". The  root weldment in this pic is 7" tall.

You’re correct. My Twinstar MKII had 5” spars. I think the change to 6” spars came with the Twinstar MKIII series.
