Default Newbie Question about plane weight

Ignorant newbie question. I recently finished building my Midstar. I finally got an opportunity to weigh it. When you check the weight of the plane, does that include the weight of the engine? The instruction manual says the plane should weigh 5 lbs. My plane weighs just under 6 lbs with the engine, all ready to fly.

I probably built it heavy, being new to this, but for reference in the future does the 5 lbs. indicated in the manual with our without the engine?
