RE: post some pictures of your pattern plane!!
Here is my newly completed Insight. All wood plane, OS 160 with pipe, 10 lbs 4 oz.. could easily make 10 lbs with little trouble.
It has no roll coupling and pushes slightly to the belly. Uplines and downlines are awesome... rolls easy. Plane is a dream.
More info in the build thread and plans/foam cores are available. Mine has a much modified canopy but the original can be seen next to it in one of the pictures.
enjoy
