Hi everyone,
Just keen to hear what your CS's are coming in at ready-to-fly minus fuel?

I finally got some decent scales at the weekend and found my damn battery weighed about 360grams in itself!

I have a STD one with the upgrd tail, cf frames, ys80, mp2, 2 8231 on cyclic, 1 hitec 5945 on collect, gv1, 401/9253, v1 vblades, minair paddles, nhp 105 t/r, raptor 60 legs, strong box and futaba 1500 rx batter. Don't know how much she weighs but looking forward to putting her on a scale soon.

I would say my one comes in at about 5kg with the canopy on, but I haven't fully weighed it up yet. But it does feel heavier than other people's CS's and I would say it's mostly due to that battery...

It's MS 710 blades, 3 x 9252's, GV1, GY601, PCM RX, 3000mah Ni cad JR battery (the concrete block), Freya paddles etc.

The canopy itself weighs about 300grams.

This will scare you. I added lead to mine to improve the C.G. Running Std Vigor. Yeah I know its dead weight but to be honest it doesn't worry me in the least. I'm running 710's so she auto's just fine and flys in a straight line great FAI.
If thats not bad enough, I'm sure my Voyager is pushing the limts. With the IMZ engine she's one fat puppy.

No rain on flying days:)
