Hell, Mike, you know me - if it flies well at 13 pounds, I'll keep it..... that weight thing just ain't a problem (as anyone who KNOWS me can attest to) on my radar.
Mine with the MVVS gasser, and the ES pipe will be right at 11 lb 9 oz..... so take out 6 for ignition, and 5 for battery and switch, it's "legal"....
But who am I to quibble over such trivialities?????
Also don't care if it's an OLD design.... hell, **** I **** am an old design, and I can still work pretty good (sometimes, depends on who you ask)
Anyway - we press on!!!!! Hoping that it is NOT a 'POS' that won't snap and spin.
