I have weighed this with everything installed minus covering on the fuse and tail feathers, the weight was just over 14 lbs. I then fabricated new wings that are nearly 1 lb. lighter; so I think the finish weight will be around 13 lbs. 8 ozs.

Such a shame.

On the diet note. I was comparing 35% Aerotech Extra 300 vs Dalton Aviation Extra 260, and it seems that I will have better luck putting the Aerotech on a diet vs the Dalton because the bellypan is sheeted (among many other things).
