Default RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?

Stuart,

The ST90 (edit - it's a 90, not 91...) weighs 20.7oz without muffler and a one piece muffler from Mac's is about 3.6oz, so it is not a pig by any means. Probably heavier than the 60's of it's heyday, though. What did a pumped 60RE and pipe weigh, anyways? I would maybe need to move the battery around, but nothing more severe than that. At least it is nose weight and not tail weight, which is a real PITA to work with...

I will be thinking about retracts, but I am leary of the durability issues when flying from grass. They look fantastic, but I want simple and light and retracts aren't usually mentioned in the same sentence with either of those qualities.

Intruder, anyone?
