Here is one I converted a couple of days ago. Its a Quique Yak 49" with an OS 32SX. The RTF weight is only 2 oz heavier than the electric version and mine is alot stronger. I will also lighten by adding Titanium features soon. With 510 square inches this should fly very well!

Thats nice!
I'll bet you could loose some weight if you could get rid of the pits muffler somehow.
What battery you useing on that for the receiver pack?
BIG difference in a 5 cell 700 pack and a 4 cell 250.
The pitts muffler is lighter than the factory one and the only way to get less weight out of one is make it from Titanium. I cant not find one any lighter. The battery pack is a 2 cell Li Po 640 mAh. The regulator is one from Novak and weighs only .3 oz with switch. Total batt and reg weight is 1.8 oz. I havnt put any thought into making a skid for the plane because I tend to drag the tail across the field and it needs to be strong. I do believe this plane will be light enough to fly very well but I still want to get the RTF oz's to 51.
