Rob, it is very light! The one in the picture is painted, cleared, has the landing gear system and servos installed and I'd say it is about 8lbs or less with the armament. This is lighter than my smaller Yellow Aircraft airframe with no armament.

I would say, go for a P-60 or a Super Bee for power so you can fly it longer.

if I am able to keep it under 12lbs with the engine and the batteries installed.......should take off in 100 ft straight up!!! [8D]
