Eric, Alot depends upon the builder, I built my own turtledeck, and although my fuselage was 3 inches wider than plans, my turtledeck weighed half as much as the RR pre-molded part. you can see how I constructed mine at: http://www.kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html
My turtledeck isn't what you would call "plans built" because I changed the outer moldline shape and it's "hat-stiffened". Still, I'm very satisfied with the outcome.
