Can someone tell me an approximate weight of a TEOSAWKI without fuel? I'm curious how mine compares. Thanks.

Mine came out at 32oz but it was a new build not an original Clayton Smith built version.

Thanks, guys. I don't have a foam cutter so I did a built up LE. Mine came in at 39 ounces but seems to fly very well. For that much wing area it is still quite light in comparison to more standard airplanes.

How do these things do in the wind?

The teosawki really does great in the wind, one year at one of the very windy KOI events, I was up eighth in profile , I think the first 5 crashed due to very gusty , shifting winds, long story short, I placed in the event based on the ability of a minimum side area , light weight , overpowered , very rigid , well trimmed model.
I know a couple people that have added weight to theirs on top and bottom of wing at the cg and said they penetrated the wind better, I have always opted to keep mine as light as possable
