How much mass does the skin add to the MM? Does it put you over the magic number?

Hey, shout out from Barcelona. I, too, try to fly my MM where there are fewer people... although I've had more issues with dogs not on a leash. Their hearing is so much more acute, they'll zero in on my LZ and got nuts - and often, their owners will simply ignore them. I've had to relocate and...
