Default RE: GP Skybolt Kit

Plan on building the plane as light as you can in the tail with the largest engine you can put on it. Use all 4/40 hardware. After building several, and trying different methods to lighten the tail, I've come to the conclusion that it will be tail heavy no matter what you do. The suggested C/G is too far forward to fly correctly. But it does fly well. Forget about adding smoke systems and other fluff. Keep it light.
