<DIV>Just in case that someone is using pounds. 2.205 lbs = 1 Kg. Therefore, 5 Kg is really 11.025 lbs. This is 11 lbs 0.4oz. Therefore, if your plane is 11 lbs you are safe since we are using Kg to measure the weight at the Nats. </DIV>

<DIV>Glen, Good luck at the Nats. I am sure that you will enjoy. </DIV>
