Mine was 29.5lb, but yes I’m expecting non vector 130-160 turbine Diablo models to come out around 27lb. The first of my non vectored customers using a JetCat P-130RxB should finish his this weekend and give me a number. The second one starts it’s build today with a JetCat P-160Rxi-B.
The question is how we achieve balance without any weight used, I’m expecting smaller batteries to be needed with the weight saved from no vector unit and two servos, but I have not done the moments calculation to see how the different weights influence the balance.

The Diablo with huge inlet openings is draggy, but since it is not a speed machine, I expect it to fly well with anything over 120N. My CARF Hawk which is similar in ‘bulk’ has a JetCat P-120SX and plenty of power.

I wouldn’t go with ‘light’ servos, use the right servos, especially on the tailplane halves. By the time you make adapters for smaller servo cases you add most of the saving back.

Diablo customers need to understand the control power available, only the ‘kids’ will be flying with full movement and low Expo figures, the elevator is sharp and powerful around the centre point, I’m over 50% expo on all three axis which is very high.
