I think Josey and I are elated at the weights listed!

10.38 lbs plus wheels (if he didn't already include that) makes about 10.5 lbs...

My DA50 builds come out at adding 6.5 lbs with stock muffler, lions, etc...

That's 17 lbs my boys... with all the accoutrements...

Drop 5 oz for the spats, fairings and faux louver insert (don't know WHY I was calling it a faux radial geesh)

And maybe a lipo instead of lions... and one COULD find 16.5 on this plane without really doing anything....

Add back 6 oz for the Brillelli and I'm peering down the barrel of a loaded 17 lb rocket!

Not sure what Chris' buildout was on the Black/Yellow one or whether the battery was low on his scale... but I'm thinking my guestimate above is gonna pan out with those airframe weights...
