Default Flying Weight

This may be a strange question.
I want to know if anyone knows what the statement "flying weight" means when a company says it?
Does that include a motor and radio gear?
Or is it the actual weight oft he air frame only?

I want to build some electric planes so weight of the plane matters.
I need to know what that statement means so I can try to match a motor to an air frame correctly.

Thank you

Todd

Default RE: Flying Weight

That would be the plane's weight when it's ready to fly - Although in the case of a gas or glow plane it usually does not include fuel
