The original Vapor Bricks were 3.3g

Then New AR6400 based PKZ 3351 bricks have porked up 3.65g

It would be cool if this was a new, smaller brick that got back to 3.3g

Brushless mode would be cool, too.

Came back to look at the new comments, then looked at the picture again. Missing elevator linkage and horn, and the mylar/film/membrane seem to be glued with a glue gun, not C.A. Not even Parkzone prototype standard in my book. Add lousy color scheme and this should have been posted in April magazine because it does look fishy!

The comparison picture has both elevator and Rudder rods.

The "flying" shot is a typical fake marketing photo overlay. They could have easily photoshopped out the elevator rod by mistake.

And the horn? The rod is easy to remove by mistake, but to remove the horn, it cannot be an accident...

Anyway, we will see soon enough. Would like it to be sooner than later though, because winter is slowly kicking in here!

I noticed the missing rudder control rod too.

Personally I doubt it's possible to drop the weight from 15g to 9.5g mostly with a lighter motor and battery. I'm not sure the rest of the weight reduction can come from the airframe. But, you never it might be possible. However, I suspect it's a combination of lighter motor/gearbox/prop/battery + lighter airframe + brick lighter than 3.3g in the original Vapor. How much lighter? Only a bit. One way would be to go to servo motors smaller than 4mm diameter.

could this be the ultra light, slow tight indoor flyer we've always wanted?

I know there is the carbon butterfly, but something that is spectrum would be fun as well

I'm confident the 8.6gweight is without battery.

3.3g for brick +3g for motor/gearbox/prop would leave no room for an airframe with wheels if a 2.5g battery was included.

Any thoughts on what the pricing will be?

I think it's real thing that got killed for whatever reason, perhaps it was found it would eat into the Night Vapor market, thus competing with itself for no real benefit.

Agree with UNGN's assessment, the 8.6 g weight is feasible w/o battery, the prop looks like a Citabria prop and that alone is .82 grams lighter than the Vapor prop. Short can motor and there's another gram saved. Smaller frame and it adds up to ~9 grams.

Looking closer at the photo it's obvious there's two servos on the board, the elevator pushrod just happens to be in front of the main carbon frame and thus invisible.

Based on PKZ's traditional pricing structure, likely $99.95 to start, but I'm sure they'll be cheaper @ discount sellers.

How can you put a price on a Product that does not exist

OK!!! Try googling PKZU1280 and PKZU1280 (NOTHING!)

OK . Next challenge

That was done in msg 4, previous page. Unless you're asking for somebody else to do it, to make sure Flyboy is not pulling our legs?

I am not pulling anyones leg...It is in the magazine.

I find the weight hard to believe also, but the original Vapor was advertised at 12 grams if I remember correctly.
