BTW, weight saving is nowhere near 700kg.

SMOC's number is accurate. (~100kg)
It would be reasonable to expect that building the aircraft without the tailskid installation saves more weight than building it with, and subsequently removing it.

But I agree that either number is unlikely to be anything approaching 700kg.
