Hi Captin!!!!! I just bought that same model from Nitroplanes and I am going to put my weadeater 25 converted to gas/glow fuel on it, the engine wheigs about 2 pounds ready to be installed (engine mount included) the plane it self weighs arround 5 Lbs. so it will be final weight about 8 Lbs ready to fly, I have already put it together just waiting to purchase a radio for it and I think I will buy the Tower Hobbies computerized 6 channel ($119.00 without servos), I'll keep you posted on how this combination turns out to be, till then your buddy from down Baja Mexico: Bill Pomplun
