Is 3 pounds correct??? I did not remove interior plywood bulkheads...
Thanks in advance for your opinion..

What engine are you using? I used an OS 160 FX on my first one and it needed a lot of weight. I had a large battery and probably about 20 squares of 1/4 lead.
My current has a Saito 170R3 but I have not balanced or flown yet.
