Someone needs to calibrate the scales at Great Planes. Every one of there planes comes out about 1/2 lb heavier than they list it. I wouldn't be surprised to see it tip the scales at close to 8 lbs. If it gets anywhere near 8 lbs, a .91 anything aint gona do it!(hover effectively, that is) Don't take my word for it though, just take the bait, or bolt on a 120. I like G.P, but there planes always come out heavier than they list, thats all. Someone buy one and let us know for crying out loud!!!!
