What do you guys think if I used .1875" (4.7mm) for the chassis braces of 7075 alloy, instead of 6.25mm 6061 alloy. The weight went down to 68 grams versus 93 grams. I also went back to 2.25mm for the chassis plate, weight went from 140 grams, to 100 grams. So far, that shaved off 90 grams from the entire chassis, not bad. If i go back and make the profile of the braces bigger, then do some coring, it would prob be stronger, and lighter.
We'll see
Cheers
