Tips Wiki Weight of Components for the CP/Pro
From Heli-Wiki
If you need to know the weight of one or more of the parts in the heli, then you've come to the right place. Such as if you want to compare weights on different tail setups, or want to know just how much weight that extra heat sink or battery is going to add. I don't have a fancy digital scale, but this balance scale is pretty accurate, usually down to 0.5g. I've also taken pics of all the weights so you can see exactly what I weighed. If you notice when the weight ends in .5g the arrow will not be right on the center mark, and if it is an even gram measurement then it should be right in the center, and yes those are elementary school weights =)
The red weights are 1g and a bit hard to see in the red tray, the blue are 5g, the green are 10g, and the yellow are 20g. I also have some metal weights, but I didn't end up using them because I didn't need to.
The all up weight of the CP is 325g with the battery, and the CP Pro is 298g as per the info @ Hobby Zone
