did you see the rubber dampened engine mount?, pretty cool.. I'm making mine electric so I will save about 1lb by not using that mount and gas tank. The wings struts are molded fiberglass, I wonder if they are load bearing and if they have any metal in them? Would not be hard to reinforce them where the screws go thru, perhaps with brass strips from the hobby shop. Also plan to use bigger wheels since I fly from a grass field.

I estimate mine will be about 12lbs and 12oz RTF electric, using 10 cell dewalt A123 lipos..

This plane is a bargain..
