This model is the property of a Friend of mine, Christophe. The take-off weight is 24,5 Kg with 5 liters of fuel.
Hi,

Fantastic looking model! Can't wait for mine now!!

However, I think you should weigh it again! I will be very surprised if it is 24.5kg with 5litres of fuel. Say 1liter of fuel is 1kg that's 5kg so the airframe would weigh 19.5kg dry. Everyone who has built one has struggled to get under 20kg with a 3.1lb JetCat 160 setup - if you have any secrets on how to do this with an 8.35lb Olympus setup then please let us know.

Kind regards,
Mark
