It's not an overly light plane, but I will tell you you wouldn't know it the way it fly's. I had to bump my brake up to 80% to slow it down on downlines and to get it to stop flying on landings. If you build it light you can get it in at 5,000 or less with 5,000 packs.

Being at 5,000, I figured it was going to be hard on batteries. I started flying it with 5,000 Compacts and couldn't believe how little juice I was using. With 4,500's it is well below weight. I havn't flown "P" with it, but I would guess it's going to be at or less than Masters. I find "P" takes about 1/2 of a minute less than Masters for me.

Great airplane....but it would be better if the wings were farther apart.

Pascal is going to sell a bunch of them.
