Can we plz remove this 11 lb, 5kg minimum limit on fuselage blocks in the next update?

This is especially annoying on small, light planes. If you have a cockpit on your plane it can make the plane weigh thousands of pounds heavier than what it should. 11 lbs is how much a 1x1x0.5 block weighs, so it pretty ridiculous that a 0.05x0.05x0.05 block weighs exactly the same amount.
Removing this will make building detailed, high part count things much faster because you don’t need to mass scale every single part.
It’s just this is an outdated feature. Plz change this
Also I think it would be good if you add it in the next update with (hopefully) the new adjustable completion or semi fuselages because then there’s a bonus reason to have a historic fuselage feature for these old fuselages.

    @jamesPLANESii it takes less than two seconds. It wouldn't take you less to take a new part from the list every time.

    Mass scale one part and clone it around.

    Yeah but we shouldn’t need to do that. Also it’s rather time consuming and annoying having to do that with every single part. @TheMachinist

    Can't you make a massless subassembly fuselage? Or one with little mass?

    So that’s why all my builds weigh thousands of tonnes and I have to use negative weight blocks from my sub assemblies to stop them having a local gravity well

    Also, why should we need to XML mod every single small part? About 90% of the parts on my aircraft are less than 11lb-sized. It takes a lot of time having to XML mod all of those parts @asteroidbook345

    No that just makes it weight 5 lbs or 2.5 kg @asteroidbook345

    I don't think I've noticed this, but now you mention it, it probably would be a good idea to remove/change it
