Just finished building by Simple Flier (kit) and it came in too heavy. Kits calls out 5.1lbs. Mine wieghs 6lbs 3oz. I wonder if this is too much? I can do a couple of things to remove a little wieghts but I would rather not. (everyone knows this feeling). Does anyone know of a genral rule of thumb on precentage of wieght planes should try to be within in regards to wieght? Also would it be any advantage to go with lipo over my NiMh? I would have to have some type of voltage regulator with the lipo I guess as I need to be at 6Volts.
