And the weight, the advance weights in at 115 kg (255 lbs) ! I'm not sure about the Blade 12, but the F12's we are working on come in at just over 60 kg (135 lbs).
Basically the Advance suffers from the same drawbacks as the Dragoon. It is a very heavy scaled down F18 with all rigging effort being largely the same. It also cost 5000 euro's.
The F12's we are looking at come in at 3000 Euro's or less. I suspect the Blade 12 is in the same region.
