Default How light is your CG Chipmunk?

I'm back in the shop after a four month break and I'm finishing up my CG Chipmunk. I was hoping to bring it in under six pounds. That just seemed like a nice round number to aim for.
But maybe it isn't. So , what do your Chipmunks weigh?

I think my wing weighs in at 4.5 pounds so it is a toad at close to 9 pounds full of fuel. Still no problem with the way it flies. If you do get it to 6 pounds let us know how you did it. Mine is about 6 years old so it is the old CG diecrunch kit.
