Recieved the carbon skids today. Bolts, nuts and skids add 12g.
Weight is now 1522g.

[nyc863]

shamed by coming last.

so now mine is down to 1245g without a battery, so 1655g with a hyperion.

that's a 100g diet.

Got there by changing servos, going from MSH esc to Jazz 50A, going from carbon wrapped boom to stock boom, and Radix to SAB.
A hollow main shaft is another 30g I could subtract

Sill have bling metal tail, big fat tail servo ..

1161g without battery & o-rings.

That's fullsized VBar (no flybar), SABs, new lightweight canopy.

Turnigy 2600 6S 30C 451g, o-rings 6g

All up: 1618g

I have a 2200 40C at Turnigy at 380g, and a Hyperion VX at 411g.

So I guess I sometimes go up at 1547g

[popokatepetl]

Protos stretched FBL - 1938g

- SAB 470mm
- 6S 3300mAh nano-tech
- MVVS 8/950 (bit overkilling motor but I like its performace)
- CNC tail from infinity hobby
- JIVE 60 (bit heavier but worth every gram)
- Total G
- SAVOX SH-1250 (cyclic)
- SAVOX SH-1290 (tail)
- Futaba 6008HS

The CG is dead on with all those stuff.
Motor + JIVE brings more weight to the nose but CNC tail with standard size tail servo balances it back.

Not the lightest Protos but with THE POWER

[whisperdancer]

That should be one of the heaviest protos around...

[popokatepetl]

That's all the things which might bring more weight.

MVVS motor - 220g (Scorpion is 200g)
JIVE ESC - 84g (YGE 60A is 35g)
CNC tail - don't know
Standard tail servo - 56g (around 29g)
Total G - 20g (mini-V is 11g)
Futaba reciever - 14g
-----------------------------------
+ around 124g + wires necessary to connect the TotalG and reciever.

How's yours stretched versions RTF?
