Anyone know how much more weight the electric motor setup is compared to the typical IC engine.
German magazine FMT compared it. With the tank filled up, the IC powered plane was about 50 grams heavier if my memory serves me right. But since they weigh in without fuel, I think the difference was something like 300 grams. That was with the older TP 10s3p Gen 2 batteries though and not the new Gen 2 Lites (I think...).
