It's actually around 23lb dry, landing shown was with a 1/4 of the main tank still full. It's a P120 turbine.
Wind I would say was 7-8mph-As Trevor says you can land it a lot slower than people do-the Flash has a really thick wing so it's draggy, if you look I was landing with TO flap (around 15mm on my set up). The secret is I was off the power going base leg and gliding in-always aim to land 30-50 ft short of where you need to touch down and you will still make the strip.

We are a lot cooler and the air is thick as we are just coming out of winter. Our strip is very lumpy (up and down)
