it is not the weight for me it is the size. On a 50cc Extra, who cares, but on a smaller gasser profile 3D plane it is cumbersome and it can get smaller, check out the empty space inside:
Hmm, if that area in the lower right corner has no components, at least the epoxy could be milled out and save a few grams. The overall size of the box does seem larger than needed... probably using something off the shelf to save $$.... In a pattern installation, this might be a "cheaper than ususal" way of saving some weight.
