Actually I am talking about more like 10+ ounces.
Lighter engine-4 oz
Weight taken from the tail-2 oz
Lighter radio equipment-4 oz
Lighter muffler-2 oz
Lighter carbon landing gear-2 oz
Little nit picking stuff like foam-1 oz

15 oz

And yes it does makes a huge difference. Even if weight savings would be dropped by 8 oz. On a 4 lb plane that is 13% weight savings.

And yes i do have experience with this type of weight saving as I saved 6 oz with my magic and it made a huge difference in the performance.

Oh yeah, I'm in my late twenties.
