Say Brian:
That 35% DR-109 is available as an ARC from Dave Genovese - in Roselle IL. He and his brother Perry produce it to order for the customer. It is the lightest 35% plane that I have weighed. It weighed just under 23 lbs with a BME-102. That's an honest weight - no BS. My AW 33% Edge with a 3W-100 weighs 29.0 lbs for comparison, and the DR-109 is roughly the same span and length. It's a great flying plane, especially for 3D because of the light wing loading. It is not short coupled because it has been stretched (around 93" length, I think).
