Yeah, the thing about the 4-stars is that they're floaters, so you don't have to worry about the added weight. My Venture 60 (similar to the 4-star and designed by the same person) came out two pounds heavy and is still a floater. Midstar-40 with clipped wings, lead in the nose, and a .35 for power, still a floater. 4-star 40 with lead up front, floater. There's a pattern here.
