Strange but I don’t recall seeing any dimensions or weight for the plane on the CARF site.

As I don’t have paved runway access and fly from grass, I would likely go with the 140, just for takeoff roll.
I've been reading the Pirrotti version thread and it seemed to be coming out around 11.7-12kg with full UAT. For its size that is very light, but for power, I would not go any less than a 140, even if I don't put smoke in it(which I likely wouldn't.
I own a Rebel HOT. I only have 4 flights on it but it is just a phenomenal flying and landing jet! But with an 85n turbine, I will admit that it disappears pretty fast. So I am thinking this Rebel, built light with a 140 in it, would be the ultimate short jet for me.
I'm between this and the T1. It appears they will be similarly priced but the T1 will definitely be heavier, and I already know the Rebel flies awesome. I also prefer paint in the mold due to lighter weight and no raised paint lines.
