Hi,
I'm having trouble finding info on the all up weight of the FT flyer, and it got me to thinking that it would be really helpful if this was a detail on the article for each plane. I'm in the UK and have used the heavier foam board they sell here, along with some probably very OTT pushrods (1.5mm wire) and some 3d printed wheels (to balance it out). All up, with a 800mha 3S battery, it's coming in at an chunky 400g (14oz) It flies, but it's fast, and not at all floaty, like in the videos.
In putting this beefy build on a diet, I could do with knowing the target weight that a good FT Flyer should be. I realize that this probably depends on many factors including prop -> motor -> esc choice, but even just knowing the weights of the ones built in the videos would help people know if they are way off.
Cheers
