Lol... I just didnt want to be the one to tell you the batteries are gonna weigh the same regardless lol.

I doubled checked it on a friends postal scale and it is 18.5lbs. Oh well I guess I won't fill the batteries and fuel tank up all the way to save weight.

You can just increase the EPA on the throttle servo to 150%. That way you get 1.5 times the power so you can compensate for the weight...

Lol nice 3dbandit.....I'll try that.

I had retarded the timing from 30 to 28 for breaking in the GP as it pops a lot at 30-31 degrees. I advanced it back, to 30, today and went from 6670 rpm to 7000 on a GP Pitts. Much better!....the weight is not an issue and the poping is gone

Awesome! Congrats. 18.5 is nothing for a GP to throw it around like a rag doll

The power is great, and similar to my DLE61 in my 17lb 3DHS Extra SHP.

Replaced the pitts with the stock GP muffler. This combo is absolutely sick. Really loving this airplane! A buddy at our club recorded this flight without me knowing, at the time. I just switched from flying helicopters two years ago ......so I still need a lot more practice
