I have no idea yet as the SM kit weight seems to vary from airframe to airframe, I've not weighed it as there is little more I can change so it is what it is! I have changed the heavy plywood turbine rails for carbon/wood composite versions, so I expect to save nose weight added to the two 130's over the P-160 Rxi-B I was going to use. I have flown a few A-10's and they don't seem to suffer with the weight even with big heavy turbines and lots of nose weight.
I'm going to have full stores, so lots of drag too!
