Between the two methods? Probably just the weight of the 1/8 x 1/2" strip of wood and the glue I attached to the stringer at the rear of the trailing edge. If you're asking total weight, I seem to remember the aluminum weighed 10-11 lbs, but I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. at least that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
