I just completed my Sledge 540 last week from a pre-production kit. It came in just a little over 4.5 lbs. The Saito.72 is new and just getting broken in. The covering is Ultracote pearl yellow, blue, and black n white checker on the bottom. The lettering is hand cut Ultracote. It flies great very little trimming needed. It is very similar to the Top Cap, and Sudokoi. I think this is one sweet airplane. Tom
