    The finished Freestyle weighs 18 lbs 5 oz. RTF. I think with a Fourtitude tank, Lighter Battery, and a CF Spinner it could be built under 18 lbs. It looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. 4890=1837-DSC_0895.jpg 4890=1838-DSC_0902.jpg

    I attached some Kevlar (left over from a Sullivan pull-pull cable kit) to the hitch pins so I wouldn't lose them. I have done the same thing on other planes and it's worked really well. Troy 4869=1821-DSC_0855.jpg 4869=1822-DSC_0856.jpg
