Perry, I just finished building one. unfortunatly i won't get the oppertunity to fly it. The quality was fantastic and it really was an easy build. I even did mods to mount the aileron and elevator servos externally. the AUW was close to 28# with a 3W 106 on mufflers. it did have a powerbox and dual Fromeco 4800 peerless so with your engine and a different power system you would save close to 2# right there. The only thing that would keep me from wanting one of these for myself is the wing airfoil. it is very thin, like less than 2" thin but there is a ton of wing area there.
