I agree here. Mine is right at 6lbs and flies great with the Saito .82 on 25% nitro. Some people don't think it is enough power, but it works really well imo. Most of the FL Extras I've seen with Saito 1.00s end up around 6.5lbs - 6.75lbs. which I think is too heavy. The vertical might be like a rocket, but the overall handling suffers due to the extra weight.

the saito 82 is perfect for the fliton extra freestyle. i have had this plane for 2 years and still love it. mine is a hair over 6lbs with the 82 setup.
