Hey guys I was wondering what do your Extra 300s or extra specials 28%ers weigh in at ready to fly,,, I have a ZDZ60 and have recently put carbon landing gear and wingtube and lighter batteries in and it weighs in at 18lbs 15oz's,,,,,,,,, good or bad,

My extra special weights in at 17 lbs 9 ozs with a DA-50 and all of the stock aluminum parts in it.

They always seem to range between 15-1/2 to 19-1/2 pounds. I've always thought the 15 1/2 pound reports were a little "understated".

My extra special with Toms Fiberglass gear, CF Wing Tube, BME 50, and Fromeco Lithiums weighs 17lb and flies great

My Extra Special weighs 17 lbs with a DA50, NIMH redundant battery system and everything else standard as it comes out of the box. I have three second place finishes in IMAC so far.

I have just completed mine with an MVVS 58 prosport, Bisson Wrap around and after adding an addtional rudder servo to balance per spec I came in at 19 lbs 8 oz. Good or bad??? I'll let you know after this weekend.

Your plane should weigh about 18 lbs. As I note from your email you also have and extra half pound of batteries, still 18.5 should be possible.

Check your scale. I don't believe 19 1/2 lbs on yours any more than I believe 16.5 for an Ultimate with a G62. Yours is reading heavy and his is reading light.

I have a new 35# digital scale on the way, so I should be able to report mine (300LX) in a few days. I have some carbon but I know exactly what each piece saved, so it should be easy to extrapolate what various setups weigh.

Got my new scale today, and after a few tests to determine that it is accurate, (it is, to 1g) I just had to throw my plane on there. 15lb, 3oz. without fuel. That's lighter than I expected. Carbon wing and stab tubes, carbon gear and spinner, single 2400 li-ion on rx, no pilot, no wheel pants, no choke servo, 16oz tank, DA50 w/slimline pitts in the nose. Just for giggles I weighed my 80" WM Patty, which before I had somewhere around 13.5-14lb dry, on my bathroom scale. 15lb 2oz! And that's after I lightened it a bit! That's an enormous wing loading difference. Haven't flown the WH yet but I can't wait, now.

Good luck wipeing the silly grin off your face!

Oh don't I know it... more power, more wing, same weight, it's gonna be a wild ride.
