Weight Issues

[John Ferrell]

If you are saying "11 pounds without fuel or 12 pounds ready to fly" that is 
about as fair as you can be to compare the technologys. Unfortunately for us 
who choose not to spend the $$$ for electrics it will leave us behind...

How about 11 pounds with fuel for all? That really meets ALL FAI rules and 
would breath new life into the Prophecy/Hydeout kind of airframe!
