Uhmm... if I'm doing my math right... this is over 12oz... right? Thats a BEAST for these days compared to whats out there!

For instance, THE STANDARD for durability is http://www.tufflight.com/4d_lite.html and their 4DLite which weighs in at only 9.5 oz (I have one - they rock! See their testimonials - I'm on there - mines the Pepsi colored plane!) and its as tough as you can get. Its seen multiple upgrades and certainly can't be beat by some first generation brick.

Was that too sarcastic?

For something lighter, and pretty tough in its own right at only 6 oz (but obviously at that weight, not as tough as the above) check out Jimmy Wades plane the "Contender" at www.alphafoamies.com and see video's of it on my blog at www.3dpastor.blogspot.com or on my YouTube page... just type in 3dpastorDOTblogspot in the search field and my page will come up!

I'll tried posting a video of the "Contender" - but, I can't get it to work... so, if you want to see it, go to my blog or my YouTube page.
