kmw!...

I think the kit comes with a 20oz fuel tank. I went to a 15oz that I had laying around just to save an ounce or two. I can fly 13 minutes easily (my timed normal flight) and have plenty of fuel left over. Probably about 1/2 tank the way I fly (mostly 3D). Very easy on the gas.

Thanks

Mine acutally weighs 13lbs 5ozs not 13.5 pounds. That's on my digital postal scale. It's accurate. That's with a bit smaller fuel tank, no wheel pants, carbon fiber pushrods and no other special mods. Nice and light.

It flys good. Best waterfalls I've ever seen. Good flat spins and excellent KE. Harrier are above average. I'm going to write a full review in a few days. It's hard to hover. The engine is fine and I can hover for 30-45 seconds (pretty long actually) and then I lose it. It doesn't want to just sit there like some of my other planes. You have to work it.

For my first gasser, I wouldn't change a thing. I like it.

Thanks
