G4 frame weight?

[toyturbo]

Does anyone know the AUW weight of the G4 frame? Just want to do some power-to-weight calculations on different types of motors that would be good for it.

Mine was 740gram a 4s tp2000 pack all metal bling
just frame and bearing with landing gear is 105g its actually a little less but I give it 5g for a safe margin of my scales

Thanks for the reply Charley, by the way what motor was in that setup for an AUW of 740g?

Well this is an answer that could vary. with the prototype I gained around 15 grams I think that is due to some parts were not lightened ie: pulleys also it has G10 upper panels(I prototype with G10 cheaper) and long steal screws.....

In the final I would hope to lose weight but will be happy with par :cool:

I guess after new parts are made and production form is in full swing then we will know :wink:

bring it on @! :banana

does anyone know how much the stock XL frame weighs, just for comparison's sake?
