My final setup was hacker A2034 TP 2 cell 730 GWS pico servos BERG 4l receiver Definitely not even the lightest possible equipment, but it was inexpensive and easy to get/replace. | |||||||||||||||

flew my 8.3oz Superstar out in Chicago wind today, even a little heavy , outdoors it was helpful. The 5.5 just has to be like a balloon indoors. Gotta try it. |

I know its not a shock flyer but i am modifiying a E-flite 260 which should be flying by this weekend the stock 260 was ok (8.48 oz) but it can always be lighter. Check the thread E-flite 260 my build is at the end of the thread |

We designed our SLICKs specifically for ultra-light 3D on CD-ROM power. They're lighter, sturdier, and faster-building than the shockies. You can also color them uniquely... sharpies for quick...

hey guys, just read all the way through this thread. I've just recently finished construction on a (sssshhhh.......its a shocky yak COPY.... ). I havent bought any of the electronics yet, (waitingon tax return check) But i've calculated 4.2oz before the battery. Thats with mostly all e-flite stuff... 300 outrunner, 10-amp pro esc, 3 S60's, and the new spektrum AR6100 reciever. should be alot of fun! heres a few pics of the mostly finished airframe... i would post a link to my build thread, but i dont know how! (i'm not very computer smart)
