WOW thank you guys for the great info!
My Brio is the Kevlar version, Don S. put me in touch with the importer several years ago.
Apparently he had hand picked a kit (based on weight) for himself that he never built... That
is the one I purchased. It seems very light to me. The weight might be in the build thread I did
here years ago.
(edit)here is the original build:

As for battery loading I wonder if I could come up with a sliding tray like the trex 700 heli?
hmmmm Maybe a CF style tray with guides if I can keep it light. I make a few items for
heli's at cnceffects.com, maybe I can start a pattern section? LOL
What do you think about front vs rear mounting for this plane... It seems a rear mount would
be lighter with the firewall setup for glow ?
I only fly basic with a little extra tossed in so it's not like I need all the power that the more
advanced pilots would need.
Thank you all again!
