All this talk about the weight of the kit made me curious. Unfortunately all I have is an old baby scale, but I am coming out with about 10 pounds for all the components in the kit. I weighed it two ways.

First the major components grouped together:
5# 9 oz for the fuse, hatch, firewall, hardware package, wing tubes, etc
4# for the wings, stab and rudder
9 oz for the cowl
-----
10# 2oz Total

I also weighed the individual components
9 oz cowl
46 oz wings
4 oz one stab
4 oz one stab
7 oz rudder
10 oz wing and stab tube
12 oz LG
58 oz fuse, firewall and hatch
8 oz HW package and wheel pants
------
158 oz Total or 9# 14 oz

I plan on swapping out the tail gear which weighs around 3 ounces.

My BME 50 and ignition is 3# 12 oz.

Of course, I'll still need:
switches
servos + linkage (JR 8611 for rudder and Hitec 5945's for ailerons/elevator)
batteries
fuel tank
H9 motor mount
1 1/2 aluminum motor mount extensions from RC Showcase
Spinner
Prop

It just keeps adding up. What else did I forget?
