Sigh... The 1600lbs. figure you quote is empty weight. That means it doesn't include fuel or pilot. Now, add 150 gallons of jet-a (7lbs/gal = 1050lbs) + 200Lb. pilot and the RTF weight was 2800lbs. Ta-daa!! Welcome to show biz! ;-)

Oh yeah...and then there's that...LOL!

Dude you just wasted my time. Not the guy who I replied to but the opening poster.

Watch the video and decide if it in anyway looks like a real airplane with a pilot inside doing this.
