How much does your Hellcat weigh?

[stewart clifford]

Hi,
Just trying to get an idea of the all up weight for a Ziroli Hellcat, I've seen some on American sites which are well over 20Kg. Ideally I would like to fit a Z62 for power, which should help keep the weight down.
So if you've built one or have one I would be interested to know how much it weighs.

Thanks
Stewart

There have been a total of 5 in the TJD team, 3 of which still remain. Nigel and the 2 Danny's are the owners so will be able to assist

Hi
Have built the Ziroli Hellcat but wih no retracts .( Yes i know, but the cost and the fact that i fly off a rough strip put me off )
Fitted zenoha 80 which go`s` inside the cowl. Three batts one for the flap servos 4 of, and two to run the rest of the radio
Glass cloth and paint finish ,No lead weighs 31lbs all up
Flys at treat nice slow landings
Friend of mine has one with retracts the weight is a secrect but well over the 40lb mark still flys well.
I fitted an 80 cos i had one ,the two others i know about have taked out Z 62 to fit bigger engines
Nice scale speed with Z62 but not a lot of go.
Hope this helps
