Default RE: Combat Models A-10 weight?

My A-10 is finally complete. I've got a YS 45 motor, Robart retracts and i modified the pilots head to move in the same direction as the nose wheel steering. I had to add 21oz to the nose. I did this by hollowing it out and putting a 15oz lead fishing weight and 6oz of lead buck shot pellets. AUW is 7lbs 2oz ready to fly. Not sure how they got the weight to be 6lbs ready to fly, if i didn'y have to add all that weight to the nose then i could see how. Maiden flight will be next week, hopefully.
