I just happen to have some exact numbers.

These are weights of the raw fuselages, before any filler. No canopy or belly pan, No engine mount, just the raw fuse with everything done and ready to fill and glass.

M1- 25.4 ounces
M2- 26.6 ounces
E1- 25.8 ounces
E2- 25.8 ounces

After filling, sealing, glassing and sanding, ready for primer:

M1- 30.2 ounces
M2- 30.3 ounces
E1- 28.3 ounces
E2- 28.7 ounces

Painiting added about 3 ounces with clear. 2 ounces on the electric. Those numbers, I don't have written down, that's just from memory. I know that if you don't rub with micro balloons, it's a few ounces more.

BTW your planes look fantastic guys!!!
