Just noticed the specs on the Hog Bipe saying the flying weight of this plane is 6.5-7.5 lbs. This seems a bit optimistic considering mine weighed in at 8lbs 14oz!! The other Hog in the above picture weighs exactly the same. The plane flies great at this weight and has unlimited vertical with the saito 100. Not to mention that it floats in for landings pretty well too! So, I'm not concerned, but it's annoying when manufacturers stretch the truth so much.

I don't think i'm a heavy builder. The last plane i built was a Ultra Sport 40 and that came out at exactly 5lbs (with retracts) and the specs say 6lbs for that one!

How much do your Hogs weigh?
