I'm putting together an Eclipse arf for a friend with a heavy Turnigy motor and heavy motor mount, a heavy Turnigy ESC, the stock wheel pants, heavy wheels, TP 5300's and it's at 4950. Most of it is put together now, all pieces weighed though.. He'll be overweight by the end of it I'm sure as he will run a heavier rec pack, Rhino 4900's, and so forth, but, he used heavier components. I know with stuff that I use he could be under with it. I built a Eclipse arc that was well under. <br><br>Seeing as this plane was built for glow, I'm surprised to see how close this one is. Sorry yours is a lil heavier!

It is an all-painted airplane; no MonoKote/UltraCote/etc. It is complete, except for the receiver and is fitted with Futaba digital servos. Power is an OS 1.40RX, with appropriate header/pipe. The only problem I have with it is that it weighs 5 kg. After doing the math, I cannot figure out how to convert it to electric power and keep the weight at/under 5 kg. So, I want to sell it for what I paid for it: $900 + shipping, if necessary, I can provide additional details/pictures for anyone who's interested.<br>>>>>
