Hi,
What motor do You plan to use? Compare for example Plettenberg Advance 30-10 (590 gram) and Hacker Q80-14XS (528 gram), there You can save 62 gram. Flight LiPo battery can be lighter then the 1183 gram that was listed in post #43. A light ESC will help. If You must not have the wheelpants mounted You can save another 43 gram (according to post #43).
