My engine will be a DLE55RA with canister DLE.
Mine was 7.7kg with the BME58 (lightest single made) and 8.2kg with GP61. Your DLE55 is very close in weight to the GP61. Ed's 2M was 8.4kg because of graphics and not quite as much lightening.

I think in order to get 7kg you would need to go to a lightweight electric setup like Dan and Jan have done.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the weight.... Mine and Ed's at 8.2-8.4kg fly extremely light. If I did another I woukd go DA70 twin which would put me around 8.7-9kg
