Can those of you that own and are flying the Byron/Iron Bay Model Company Hellcats tell me what your total weight of the plane is, ready to fly? Thanks!

Mine is 32lbs and has all flight surfaces glassed and painted. Plane also has the Byron Purr Powr installed along with somewhere around 6 lbs of lead to balance it I believe. Flies great at this weight and floats along much slower on landing than my 24 lb Byron Mustang does.

Thanks for the help! Mine came in at 34 lbs dry wich includes 5 lbs of nose weight. The Byron manual stated 24-26lbs RTF but all their manuals for their warbirds understate what the actual weight is. I have 3 flights on mine now with great success!
