Default GP Cap 232 .40 weight

I'm looking for the what some of you folks have come up with for an all up weight for your Great Planes .40 Cap 232 kit.

My set up is: .91 O.S. Surpass II , std. Futaba servos, TME smoke system (w/6oz. smoke oil tank & 250mah battery) stock build otherwise.

I come out (dry) at 6 lbs. 4.3 oz. I balance without an once of balast.

Someone at my field told me that it was light. Without anything to compare it to, I have no idea.
I know that it flies real well, has tons of power and lands real easy.
Great planes claims 4 to 5 lbs. That seems pretty sporty to me.

I was curious how this compared to others.

Thanks.

Mine weighs right at 5lbs. It has a 70 Surpass and dual aileron servos in the wing panels, other than that, it is built per plans.
