OK folks, here is our benchmark weight RTF.

5 lbs. 5oz.

A tad bit heavier than I was hopping for. Advertised weight is 5 1/2, so congrats on getting it right, for a change. :-)

OS 50-H, 1100 mill. 6 volt pack, micro throttle servo, alum. servo horns and MK control horns, CF 2-56 rods, CF gear with bigger wheels and wheel pants.

I may be able to loose a few ounces here and there with a smaller battery pack, the stock wheel pants and wheels and if I can come up with a different muffler instead of this ST brick and I know the heli version motor is heavier than others. You should be able to get this bird under 5 pounds.

With the battery and receiver mounted behind the canopy it seems to balance pretty far back. I am going to fly it the way it is now and tune it from there.

Stay tuned.
