For those interested; the dry weight came to 9 1/2 pounds. The 1.40 Super Tigre will be more than blazing, and the balance with battery and RX ahead of servo tray is nearly dead-on. I did substitute a 20 oz fuel tank to accomodate the ST 2300 engine. There is plenty of room in cowl for the Mvvs 1.60 gasser if you desire. I will purchase another for this gasser when local shop brings them in. P.S. I also substituted a 4-40 pull system for the stock pull-system, as it did look a bit lite and I had the 4-40 in the shop.

Plane should fly superbly. I would avoid damage to fuse as repairs would call for fiber-glass, very lite glass at that.
