The Abbra kit weighs 1.8kilo out of the box. The Impact weighs 2.5kilo out of the box. that is 1.2lb diff
Just thought I'd weigh everything and these were the results

Fuselage = 590g
Cowl = 70g
Canopy = 104g
Rudder = 90g
Left Wing = 414g
Right Wing = 418g
Left Stab = 112g
Right Stab = 112g
Wing Tube = 90g
U/C Legs = 90g
Wheel Pants = 60g

Total of 2150g = 76oz = 4lbs 12oz or 2.1Kilo

So only 9 or 10oz different. I admit the Abbra is nice and light but it would seem the Impact isn't quite as "fat" as you may think!

VERY rough figures would be 4.75lbs for airframe, 4.5lbs for engine,prop,header,pipe etc, 1lb for radio is 10.25lbs. That leaves 12oz for 'bits' to come in at 11lbs
