It will certainly be very heavy if you go with 25% infill or greater. But you can print it with 10% infill, or even zero infill (hollow) and it will be relatively light. It definitely won't be as strong, but that's not a big issue if you are careful when handling it. I printed mine hollow, and yeah you can deform it when you squeeze it, but its strong enough to mount on the plane and fly it.
I don't know how much mine weighs! Its inside my RC storage trailer which is covered by about 4 feet of snow!
Here's mine with the tank. Repaint, with Callie graphics, etc. before this version was available from Motion. I have added several 3DP details, but not as much as Elbee. (Meh, its a work in progress)
LOL you can see the trailer in the background!

Thanks, guys for the support, I am enjoying this aspect to scale modelling/detailing smaller planes, as I normally fly larger turbines.
It is a lot of fun to break out the airbrush and 3D printing modification. I was a little shocked how easily the Freewing paint was removed from a wing after applying a coat of Rustoleum gloss white

I found them on Amazon, search for "RC transmitter stick ends" and you'll see several examples being sold by different outlets. I fly with the end of my thumbs and I find these very helpful.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.
