I don`t have weights yet I`m waiting on the factory for that.
The electric version "Shinden LTE "is Layed up with a different method for weight reduction and is lighter than the glow version.
The last Shinden I had imported to me ( the one Brandon Landry flew) and Matt flew this year at the Nats with wet setup powered by YS 160 was 10 pounds 4 ounces with no special setup. and a clear plastic canopy

They will be very comparable to the Griffin overall in weight Except,
The model uses a 3.5" spinner and is a full 78.5" long and 78.5 " span
The fuse is 7" wide at the wing and 14.5" tall the fuse has a lot of girth.
It`s still very current for todays pattern, and actually has features we will be moving toward again in FAI.
