Default 4*60 final weight

Just finishing up my 4*60 kit with a GMS 76 engine. Can anybody tell me what the weight range should be? I might want to install a pilot but not if the plane is already to heavy. I have not yet weighed mine as I don't have radio installed yet.

With a bushinged 60, my 4* 60 weighed in at 7 pounds and 6 or 7 oz. If you want unlimited vertical, leave the pilot out. If you don't want/need unlimited vertical, stick the pilot in. This plane could easily handle 2 more pounds and you'd be hard pressed to see a difference in sport flying.

Mine is 7# 10oz with a Saito 91.

Flys like a feather. Floats forever on a landing.
