It's not as light as it looks. This particular one weighs 15 grams. with rubber, ready to fly, but has almost 90 square inches of wing area. The latest version weighs 13 grams and I have an even lighter one that I did just to see how light I could make it. Well, that didn't work out too well. The super light one was made of "contest grade" 1/20" stock. The uncovered frames weighed 4 grams. I didn't get an all up weight for it because as I was carrying it out the garage a gust of wind came up and suddenly I was holding shreds of tissue with bits of balsa attached. The lesson? 1. You can make them too light, and 2. Indoor models should not travel outdoors when not in a box.
