[Bat Fastard]

I have NIB 34% RC Superstore Extra and am thinking about building it with my ZDZ 80RV for power. My question is can it be built light enough WITH a cannister to be 3D worthy with the 80RV? I have a bunch of Hitec 5645's and TBM lipo's for radio gear. (its just a bunch of stuff that I already have and don't use so I thought it would find a good home in my knock around 3D plane) Is it safe to assume that all the radio gear and ignition batts and regs will be 48oz? And that the engine with prop spinner ign and mounts will be around 5 lbs?

If thats the case then I think I can get it around 23#'s 12oz's and that should be O.K. for 3D. With a few carbon mods of course. Heres what I have so far.....

Fuse and Hatch 5#'s 6.1oz's
rudder and elev's 1# 10.8oz's
wings 4#'s 10oz's
wing and stab tube 13.1oz's
canopy 6.7oz's
landing gear 1# 5.5oz's
wheel pants 6.2oz's
fuel tank (complete) 4.3oz's
hardware package (in kit) 8.3oz's
wheels and axles 9.2oz's
cannister muff (JMB for ZDZ 80) 15.5oz's

Total 16#'s 15.7oz's


Radio gear 3#'s
Engine w/ign, mounts, and prop and spinner 5#'s

Total again 24#'s 15.7oz's


I can save 6oz on the wing tubes by going to C/F.
11.5oz on the gear by using my gear from my old H-9 330l
And 3.2 on the wheels and axles by using what I have.

Thats a savings of 1# 4.7oz's
That should put me in the ballpark of 23#'s 11oz's. Again, that is assuming that radio gear will be 3#'s and motor/prop/mount and spinner will be 5#'s. Is this possible? Also does anyone have any experience with this plane and is it reliable enough to put the work into to end up with a nice flying plane?

Thanks for any input.
