watso. What basis are you saying the Showtime is heavier than a Funtana. Early reports don't seen to reflect that. I've heard some say about 9lbs 6 ozs with a heavy motor and someone said high 8lbs range. A Funtana is 10 lbs stock with the Saito 150 and 9 1/2 lbs with 110 and some lightening stuff (wheels, mini servos, landing gear, etc.) My hope is that this plane is much lighter than a Funtana. If your friends Showtime is heavier than your Funtana, how much does your Funtana weigh and how much does his Showtime weigh? You should have that information. I won't know what mine weighs until I finish it.
Please tell us.
Thanks,
