38g savings. I'm sure the plane is just fine with the stock aluminum gear; personally I just don't like it. I also like doing a few small things to the plane to make it my own. The weight savings is not huge with the gear, but couple it with a few ounces savings with a Scorpion motor and the lightest Rx batteries and regulators I could find, it totals about a quarter-pound. Should really help to reduce down line speed with the 10S; 10S running on higher voltage will help reduce current draw for equal/better performance than 8S thus reducing strain on batteries.

I could just glue the plane together and go with the 8S Hacker setup and have nothing to think about or do over the winter months [&:]
