I wanted to get some ideas of what people came out with for weight on this plane. I came out with an all up weight of 8.5 lbs... the plans say 7-7-5 lbs... I have never been able to meet those weights. I thought I was fairly careful in the building of the plane. I did increase the weight by putting a 1400 amp battery and a 1.08 Magnum 2 stroke with a 15x6 prop in it. I also put some Hitec 615MGs in the tail. I don't think the motor will have a problem hauling the plane around or vertical for that matter but I am wondering how and if it will be able to 3d. I would like some feedback as to what other people got for weights and how the heavier birds reacted.
Thanks
Jeff
