Default Aviation models 40% Yak Weights?

Hi guys, what are your actual weights of your 40% (3.3m) Toc1 yak?

Might be getting one and kitting it out with a ZDZ 160RVJ.

What sort of weight will i be looking at? Lighter the better.

Thanks Andy

The 2 of them at my field are 47-48lbs with 3w 157s, cans, seiko rudder servos. They flew really light even at that weight, and the 157 pulled them around no prob.

My buddies was 49 lbs with a 3W 150 on Pefa cannisters. Seiko servo on rudder and a smoke system. Fun to fly but not punch out verticle. Very light flying and great rudder authority. I think a ZDZ 210 would be perfect.

Thats a heavy plane.

I wish there were more options in that 200cc range.

Do you think I need to mention their name?

I have only seen one of these fly, and it is like a foamy on the wing, but not on the prop with a 150. the 150's pull this thing, but a 200+ would HUCK this thing!
