I am fairly new to this hobby and just built my first kit plane, the GWS E-starter. I was wondering about the weight issue. I thought about building it tough since I might have a few hard landings, but I tried to keep it as light as possible. I have LiPo packs so that should help.

I was wondering if some of you guys could give me the ready-to-fly weight of your E-starter so I could sort of judge by that how I did. I need to borrow a mail scale to weigh mine.

The CG was showing it to be a bit nose heavy so I laminated the tail fins with clear packing tape to make them tougher. Its not much weight but it looks good and should toughen it up a bit. I haven't gotten to fly it yet because my Eclipse 7 Tx from Hitec was faulty and it is being shipped back to the factory so I have to wait on that.

This seems like a great group of helpful people on these forums. I thought you guys might be interested in seeing how you each did on your weight compared to everyone else. Thanks for the help and any other weight tips.

PLEASE POST YOUR READY TO FLY WEIGHT ALONG WITH ENGINE SIZE, BATT TYPE, AND ANY MODS
