I just bought a new Futaba 14-SG radio and a Sig Astro Hog Bipe kit as my test bed airplane for the new radio, anyway I noticed the kit states that the airplane will weigh in at between 6.5 and 7.5 lbs. completed, however the kit in the box weighs over 9 lbs. when I placed it on the scales and the airplane still needs to be built, an engine and mount installed, fuel tank, radio gear, batteries, glue, covering, and all those odds and ends needed before it can be flown... You know what that means; over half the lumber in this kit needs to stay in the box during the build along with a strict diet on everything else in the airplane or at least the way I see it. So we will see how it goes. Anybody out there have any current weights on their completed Astro Hog Biplanes?
