Mine's 4 pounds, four ounces, but after I cut off the stuff that doesn't need to be there (the useless structure that connects the seat to the fuselage bottom), it should weigh even less than yours. Still, yours is probably stronger than mine, and beautifully done. Like others have done, I'm going to change mine so that the rear edge hooks over the rear spar (the front edge already works that way), and while I'm doing that, I'm going to lower the seat to the fuselage bottom so taller people can sit in the cockpit without canopy interference. Right now it's about 2" from the bottom, and my headset is very close to the canopy. Mine's at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/seat.html , and after just reading it, I can tell you that my old sling seat and associated mounting hardware weighed right at 4 pounds.
