The last weight poll was confused by having two issues in one question. What I'm trying to achieve here is a value for designers and builders to base calcs on until more data is available for a more informed decision.

The only data points we have at this stage are Gato's DS12 at 52kg using 4mm ply (plans call for 3mm).

The paper tiger (14') has a platform weight of 50kg which is achievable with the use of ply or composite.

The Arafura Cadet (11') has a minium platform weight of 36kg.

Minimum rigged weight should be:
single choice
50kg
 41%, 7 Votes
55kg
 24%, 4 Votes
60kg
 18%, 3 Votes
65kg
 0%, 0 Votes
70kg
 0%, 0 Votes
I'd prefer a platform weight.
 18%, 3 Votes
