Mike,
I have this same model from Hangar 9, my question to you is this, how can you get the model to weigh under 25 lbs. mine weighs 29 lbs and some.

I have an EVO 80 in the nose, use Lipo batteries, rudder servo is in the middle of the airplane and still had to add more then 3 lbs in front of the engine to balance.

Are people really saying there airplanes weigh only 23 to 25 lbs. with mine being stock all the way, I don't beleive these numbers..

If you can shed some light I would appreciate it.

Roger
