That is correct. The 2# weight includes everything ready for launch. What battery type and pack size would you suggest? Am I better off installing a different motor? If so which one? And if brushless I would need a different controller correct? I would really enjoy a glider that would gain altitude (more than 100 feet). While we are on this subject perhaps you could suggest a different plane motor battery combo. Gliders. Thanks for the help.[8D]
