Default Frame only weight please?

Can anyone tell me what the airframe ONLY weight is for the 7.2? and 5.5 if you know. It seems the 7.2 is quite heavy

I know weight rtf model is 12lbs but you have to realize its a big model its longer, taller just bigger then a 7hv or raptor e720 which are already huge. And lots of the gears are metal with titanium coating. Weight is your friend sometimes helps track through the windows better then a lighter machine.

You fly through windows?

I was trying to get an idea vs other models what the unloaded weight is. I know its a huge airframe.

Is anyone running Rail 716 and 106? if so what headpseed? I am deciding between cyclone 695 and 106 @ 2300RPM or rail 716/106 at about 2150.

My flight style is smack/hard 3d. I want it to pop off center. I'm not worried about tracking, ive never flown a 700 that didn't track very well!

hi,
I had one of my set ups with R716 but with 112 tails, the blades perform nicely blades are really good in big maneuvers at any head speed. on 3D great performance also.

I can tell that the flying time decreased by15sec
