    Very great flight and model...have you a building plan?

    Wow. This flies better and longer than most rubber powered models of the same scale. Would really appreciate a build vid with tips man.

    I like when you can see it hit the rising air. Very gratifying. Keep building them!

      @@Yosemite-George-61 Happy New Year. Initially passed on the 104 obviously looks like a short moment arm. If we cut the nose off maybe not as much. Low AR for sure would keep it from a good efficiency but doesn't have a swept plan form. Build the nose light would be prone to damage, tail weight most likely. Might need that beer ahead of time as a down payment.

    Flies really well, well designed, pity we still can't get the Rapier rocket motors, then you could power it.

      Didn't think of that. It would be a blast with a Rapier. Thank you.

      @@tmathews180 This one came out 2 grams under weight @13.5 painted and balanced. I added some CF strip under the wing to bring the AUW and it felt a little better for CLJ. It wouldn't need the CF for CAP and would still be in the 15-16.5 window if ±5 grams. Will send em this week. Am re-building due to thermal flyaway.Thanks again.
