My simple stick is finished, the all-up weight with Power Pack B and 3S 1300 battery is 700 grams. Is this around the correct flying weight?
I reinforced the landing gear area with 1/8? (3mm) plywood; and the landing gear holder too.

This is what the store page says:
Weight: 450g (1 lb) w/o Battery

The recommended battery on the store page is 119g , which comes to ~570g Sound like you might be a bit on the heavy side (+ ~17%) , but not so much that I think your going to have issues.

Thanks... I was over-building it as I want it to last and the landing gear seem to take the brunt on impacts... Thanks Again.
