Just got my "fish scale" to weigh everything...works great!!
Thanks to OI Photography for the recommendation-best $8 I ever spent.
So, I'm going around weighing everything and here's what I got for my aircraft and things;
Basic aircraft-no GP or battery=2100 grams.
AUW=2779
Zippy 3S8000 Mah battery=600 grams.
The retracts weighed in at 320 grams.
So, when I first got the aircraft, it's AUW was 3093 grams.
Strange-that I only gained 1 minute of flight time by removing them...but that probably has more to do with the Zippy than anything else.
I think-at this point, I'm going to replace the engines. Just makes the most logical sense to me. And-the fact that I've read a few reports that say the engines I have now are a bit on the weak side, and you shouldn't run 11X5 props with 4S. Rather than try that, and possibly burn up the engines, I'm just gonna replace them, with these;

IF, they ever come back in stock. And, run the 11X5 E-Graups I have on there now. Probably look for a 4S 8000, or maybe 10,000mah.
That should get me to 10+ minutes.
OH, and my P2's AUW=1390, with flight times of 13 minutes, landing at a bit less than 30% remaining...sorry if OT.
