The 2010 F-One Bandit III 13m weight = 3.85kg
I saw a post here a few weeks ago saying the F-One Bandit's were "heavy" but these weights don't support that statement.

I'm not so sure - the C-Quad is extraordinarily efficient (8.5m = FS 15m?), and 1.4kg sounds like it was weighed wet... I get more low-end out of my Flysurfers, but only when I have more sail in the air. (worth it for the depower and ease of flying)jakemoore wrote:C-Quad 8.5m2 1.4 kg 0.164 kg/m2
I guess the silverarrow comes close then.
