Default Is my Goldberg Cub too heavy?

Just completed construction of a Carl Goldberg Anniversary Cub. The empty airframe weight is 5.5 lbs. WITHOUT RADIO and ENGINE. The radio (receiver and six servos) and Saito .80 FS will probably add another 2 to 2-1/2 lbs. bringing its total weight to 7-1/2 to 8 lbs. Does anyone know if this is typical for a Goldberg Cub? If any members have built or are flying Goldberg Cubs, could you please advise me of their ready-to-fly weights? Is 8 lbs. too heavy? I covered the airplane with Super Coverite and sprayed it yellow. It seems heavy, so, I’m wondering if I should just hang it up and start over. Would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide. Many thanks.
