The expected weight (pg. 40) was 2,565gr, so I would say: \u201cClose enough!\u201d By the way, the wing, including the landing gear, wheels and servo, weighs 965gr., while the complete fuse, ready to go, engine, prop, tank, battery, Rx and servos is 1,600gr. I think the wing is a little on the heavy side, it could have been at least 200gr. lighter if I had used my own wood, instead of a Jensen kit.
