Well, I managed to get mine finished today. Below are pictures of the rest of the process. With the HEAVIEST packs that I own, Turnigy 20C 5000mah, the plane weight 4912g. That is with the heavy plastic spinner, the heavy carbon wing tube, and an APC 21X14 prop. This plane could easily be under 4875 with lighter equipment. There should be NO reason you can't keep this plane comfortably under weight. Flight tests will be tomorrow weather permitting. For those wondering, it took about 7 hours to complete.

That wing tube isn't heavy, but who cares, your AUW is nice and comfortably within limits, so shouldn't be a problem. I was asking since the fuse is on the heavy side, but apparently that's not an issue. The wings and stabs are nice on par, weightwise.

7 hours build time, 650 dollar, and I'm sure it'll fly good, so you can't go wrong. You could probably win 150 grams by just replacing the spinner, prop, gear and wheelpants.
