So as expected the weight of my model d is somewhere between the stated pla weight and the lw pla weight... 327g. (Eclipson quoted 410g for PLA and 220g for lw pla) Although my model a printed out heavier than their claimed weight.
The plane could have been lighter, as i had done some stuff to cope with an underextrusion issue I was having. I never decreased the flow rate back so it could be lighter still yet.
Looks like it will more than easily balance out with a c pack and 1000mah battery. I havent added a motor mount, spinner, esc, or landing gear yet, all of which are forward of the CG. So it would probably balance out with a b pack and smaller battery.
My main complaint is that the white color, which i printed with is more of a tan, and has a corn husk like texture.
Overall easier to work with than the color fabb and way less stringing.
