RE: Pilot R/C 30% YAk 54 R.T.F,Weight!!!
My sons are big-time into high-school sports so a accurate scale is very important to them in wrestling as well as weightlifting for footfall and track. We would weigh them and then them holding the plane and then just do the math. WE repeated this 3 times to eliminate any possible errors. I was amazed at 14.5 lbs. too!!! I Fly in Waukesha as well as Palmyra and white-water,my phone # is 262-470-5300. Call me if you have any questions.I have alot of good used planes for sale,Brian..

Nice work! Yea my 30% Edge 540 is advertised for 13.5lbs-16lbs RTF on 1500 squares as well. I'm not quite finished by it's looking after weighing everything thats not yet inside as I haven't quite finished building her, its gonna come out at 15.5lbs or so on a fully redundant dual battery/switch setup. Gonna fly like a rocket foamie on a DLE-55! Can't wait!
