ORIGINAL: mini fly

I ended up at 9lb 15oz. but thats with the 6oz lead weight in the tail.

Set-up

Ys120 w/ Hatori header and pipe
8411sa on all surfaces (only using one elevator servo with a pull-pull set up)
Airtronics retract servo (the sticker is gone so I'm not sure exactly what it is)
Tanic 1550 Lipo receiver pack
Medusa 6v bec to reduce the lipo voltage
JR770s receiver

I'm thinking about rebuilding the wings without retracts and going to fixed gear to save a little more weight.

Thanks for the info. So the weight range listed on the PAC website is pretty realistic for this kit? They list finished weight at 9-9.5lb and you would right there without the ballast weight. I was thinking of building one of these and using a Webra 120 with fixed gear to keep it simple and light. That should leave me right around 9lb with some care in building.
