And I believe that all three are 4,000mah lipo batteries, which probably weigh about 6 ounces each. There's room to drop at least 6 ounces by going with a typical fromeco setup of 2600's, or about 10 ounces getting a bit more creative with smaller liPos, or A123 cells.
Then drop another pound by dropping the cannisters and you're easily in the 27 pound range.
There is room to drop even more weight with a little lightening of the airframe, CF spinner, CF wing tube, and lighter wheels, etc.
