I checked the weight of the fuselage of mine tonight, 2 pounds 15 oz according to my kitchen scales.

Keep in mind that is complete, painted, including the tail surfaces. Also in there is the nose retracts, leg & wheels, standard size servos for nose retract, elevator & rudder, reciever & 2 x speed controllers plus some other assorted goodies.

But, like I said, I tried very hard to keep it light.

The Discovery Channel featured the B-36 in one of their aircraft series, have you seen it? - John.
