Weighs 4.2 lbs. I had to replace most of the sticks in the kit as they were too heavy. I cut some lightening holes as well.

Flies very nice. Harriers great. Falt spins well although inverted are much flatter than upright. Knife edge is almost no coupling. Hovers and torque rolls very easy. Waterfalls are tight and straight with only about 40 degreees elevator throw...would be tighter with more throw I'm sure. Final weight with everything was 4 lbs 5 oz so it flies very light.

Hey Tony if you want to purchase that photo I take Visa, MC, PayPal.

Or you could let me fly it.

Less than 1/2 throttle to hover.

Dion, I don't mind the "photo proof" written across the pic. After all, my wedding pics say that too. Spend less money on pics, more mmoney on airplanes....ha!

I though Dion lived in St. Louis. Now your avatar says PA.
Aviti, glad to hear everything is going well with your new sledge.
