I cannot imagine what that plane weighs? Does anyone know? Did it compete at the WJM? I assume they weight them.

The reason I say that is that the turbines are mounted so far aft, it is incredible. I can't imagine how he balanced it. Incredible flying too!

Also does anyone know if he modified the kit to make it a 9-13 fuse profile or did he stay with the 9.12 profile?

EDIT: A quick back of the envelope calculation from measuring my plane says he would need about 1.5-2 pounds of lead in the nose with all else being equal. Not so bad I guess
