Actually, it is quite light. Don't quote me on this but if I remember reading it correctly, it was somewhere around the 25 to 30 pound range. As for cost, again please don't quote me. I believe it was in the 10 to $12,000 range. I will try to find all of the information and post it if I can.

And what size airframe would something like that actually be suitable for? Don't get me wrong I think it is wickedly sick, just not very practical.

I am trying to find all of the information that I had on it a few months ago. They were working on installing it into a 1/3 scale Fischer Mustang.

Just my opinion here, but with something this bad ass who cares if it's practical or not? LMAO

I say practical because as bad ass as it may be we more than likely will never see one in an airplane and probably not very likely be any for sale. As for the cost, well, there are those of us that would buy it even if just to have it.
