170g with pull-spring and a lot of lead to get the CG as described in the manual.
All glued surfaces were not aligned correctly, but easy to fix.
I used my own low voltage servos, powered directly by 1s lipo.

Bottom line, is good value for < $100 (bought as ARF on SALE). Stiff & straight wings, control surfaces, etc.

First one I ordered was damaged in transit (broken wing, and, on unpacking, I saw that rudder was not properly aligned, so a quality issue). This was eventually replaced, and the second one also had misaligned rudder (seems to be a common problem based on other comments!) Managed to fix it by cutting the glue joint around rudder, sliding it out, cleaning glue off the boom, and aligning/gluing it.

This is a very fun little glider. It's my first DLG, and flies beautifully. I've installed micro (1.25g) servos, a 220mA bat, ubec, and micro receiver. All-up weight 150g. Running it with flapperons and a Taranis radio.

I ran the pushroads *in* the boom rather than outside it as shown in the instructions. Seems a lot easier (had to cut a little notch and a drill a angled hole in the boom, for elevator and rudder respectively, being *very* careful not to cut too much out) and definitely cleaner.

One of the biggest problems was coming up with a way to fasten the canopy... managed to do it, but seems unnecessarily fiddly.
