But when I get that 26% plane someday, it will be electric so I won't be worried about it. I'd buy a bigger one, but I just got rid of my 33% as I don't want anything bigger than my pattern stuff.
Chris, your perfect IMAC plane was just released by Extreme Flight; it's their 2 Meter Extra 300. It will fly on exactly the same setup as an electric 2 Meter Pattern ship. Easy to get to 11.5 pounds, and should be possible to make 2KG. Expect to see some IMAC guys show up at a few D7 pattern contests with these this year. They are already practicing the sequences. LOL!
Here is a link to the plane:

As a side note, the Carbon Fiber landing gear made for the Extra weigh right at 3 ounces. They are strong, very light, and with minor modifications will probably fit many pattern planes. I know a Valiant pilotthat is modifying a set for his plane right now. They are only $49.95.
