Mine was 12 lbs empty with a dry fuel tank. When I made my first taxi, I was on lumpy grass and making a slow tight turn, the inside main wheel stopped up against a lump of grass, and resulted with the aircraft pitching onto its nose in slow motion which allowed me time to kill the mags, saving the prop etc. This happened because I had just filled the fuel tank and was turning too slow under power, I did have the stick right back. The tail is light but have had no other issues since.
