I dont know about the weight - I will weigh it and let you know but it is very light for the size of model.
I do naturally build very light and I have coevered it in doped in tissue all over and sprayed it with fuel proof paint - three coats and minimal decoration.
The snake is a plastic tube that runs inside another slightly larger plastic tube. The inner tube is hollow to allow clvises to be screwed into it.
The receiver area runs inside a tube glued to the inside of the rear decking (installed before the fuselage floor is glued on!!) I made it out of 4 McDonalds drinking straws - very light and free!!
Cheers
David.
