I also have a "soft spot" for the Venus (it was my very first ARF!) so I just had to pick-up it's bigger brother. For those of you interested, here are the weights of my kit:

Fuselage, Cowl, Canopy, and tail-feathers: 2lbs 3.6oz
Hardware (tank, engine-mount, spinner, pushrods, nuts and bolts, etc.): 12.2oz <note: all pieces still in plastic bags>
Wheel Pants: 2.3 oz <note: still in plastic bag>
Wing (both halves, including ailerons): 24.4oz

Total: ~5lbs

As noted above, all the "main" pieces (fuse, wing, tail) were taken out of the plastic bags; all hardware was still in the bags so-- even with the extra weight of glue-- it should still come out a few ounces less than this total.

I have a YS .91FZ that needs a home (and it is a real stump-puller!). Should be able to keep the RTF weight under 9lbs so it should do fine in this airframe.
