And the key is the weight of the wing panels<g>. Any E-plane with finished wing panels over 16 ozs will struggle to make weight.
Wonder if Dereks E-Neptuno will make weight?<g> It'll be close, I bet.
I think I'll make it easily... right now I'm at 2728 without the motor/prop/batteries. The Hacker weighs 579g, batteries around 1230 - 1300g and prop/adapter is 150g. Estimated total weight is 4687. I think I'll come in around 4800g - either just under or just over.
