The plans say the bare bones shell weighs just 5lbs I can see that with what I have already have built . I guess from there its weight of covering and servos and engine that will get it up there.
With a 5lb airframe, I can see ending up around 13lb with a 40cc Brillelli on board. That would be an awesome combination, with close to unlimited vertical and that nice gas engine sound, along with cheap operation. I can see this plane becoming a daily flier that goes to the field every time I do.[8D]
