The Dirty Birdy pictured in red white and blue livery is nit 8pounds as the caption states. It is a scratch built Dirty Birdy with plug in wings and weighed in at pounds 6 ounces dry. The photo was taken at the 06 Asheville NC SPA contest and I am the builder and just happen to be in the photo also. To my immediate right is another Dirty Birdy built by a fellow club member here in NE Tennessee. Vic Koenig
