Hi,

Can owners of the Avant (preferrably the FX), pls chime
in w/ your full-up but dry (ie. no fuel) weight of the machine.

Please include what batteries you're running and if you're
running the stock rotor head or the new CX Programmable Head.

Be prepared to be amazed. I've yet to hear of one weighing over 10 lbs.

As equipped with.....

Radix 710 192 grams
Duralite 3000 Lipoly / 6 Volt Duralite regulator / HD switch
Futaba GV1, GY611, 9451's on CCPM, 9252 on throttle, G3 receiver
95mm V paddles
95 mm Tail blades
No header tank
New Avant rotor head
Hatori SB18
OS91SZH with OS fuel system (2 oz heavier than Cspec)

On my scale it weighed 10lbs 8oz, no fuel. The scale is a digital scale with a 15lb capacity. I'm not sure how accurate it is.

My Tempest with Extreme head and same equipment weighed 11 lbs.

So, my final answer - the avant is about 1/2 pound lighter than my Fury.

They range from 9 lbs 11 oz to 10 lbs 9oz depending on equipment.

There is a thread that already addressed it where people listed their weights here.
