I just finished mine 14.3lbs. I didn't use the stock gear, to short, not much clearance for a 23" VESS prop.
www.rcsupergear.com makes a gear for the Chip Hide Double Vision and is a perfect fit for the Bling. The Bling now has an extra 2" of clearance, and looks great. This gear is the best looking CF i've ever seen,and much stronger then Graph Tech. Check it out!
