Claudio, I just weighed her then on a good set of scales.
All up weight is 3.56 Kgs this includes 2 X 3S 5800 Lipos, all servos motor and ESC and FY-21AP OSD and auto stabeliser and frsky reciever.
This weight does not include the video Camera, VTX or lipo pack for OSD VTX and camera
I must say I'm pretty pleased with the weight.
Specs below are off my quick wing loading calculater spreadsheet.
I like the bottom line 18oz per Sqft. I don't think there are too many models with a wing area of 7 sqft that come out this light. Mind you she's not designed to be an areobat. (I will have to remember this)
This is the motor I used,

One of the reviews says it flys great 3d with a 6lb plane so it should fly OK with this 8Lb air frame. another review mentioned a trainer that weighed 3.6Kgs so I think it's in the ball park.
It should have quite good endurance if we can average 18A then flying time should be 30 mins with 8 mins to spare. Using the 3S packs in parrellel, perhaps I'm being a little optemistic here???? time will tell

“The knack of flying is learning how to throw your machine at the ground and miss.”
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your thoughts turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ~Leonardo Da Vinci
