I doubt very much if there are any IC planes running a glow 170/175 that would make 5kg with fuel. My cdi's use about 210 ml's per fight, about half of the glow version.
Maybe I exagerated a bit on the bipes, but unless my Japanese is screwy, then most of Naruke's monoplanes are supposed to be about 4.75Kg with cdi and 4.65 without. However, I'll concede the "interpretation" of Naruke's Aries 07 that I received has proven challenging to get somewhere near 5050 grams so I understand peoples pain, While it doesn't affect my ability to compete locally, it sticks me as a matter of principle and I'd need to lose the bellypan (or cdi) if I wanted to fly it at a WC...
