Well let's figure gas/oil per gallon weight of say 8.2 lbs. 1 gallon equals 128 oz. 16 oz. equals 1/8 of 1 gallon so 16 oz of fuel mix equals 1.03 lbs. So now if I deduct 1 lbs. .48 oz. then I would estimate my empty weight at 16 lbs. 13.22 oz. This would put me very close to ericb and rager24 with my "heavier" redundant power set up. So I maybe able to conclude that sufficient weight savings are not there to justify the cost of the more expensive set ups.
