Default RE: House of Balsa T6 Texan build

I had one, maybe 10 years ago. I enjoyed it enough that I still consider building another. I flew mine with an ASP .25. It will snap but only if you over do it on the elevator. It wasn't any worse than any of the 1/12 scale fighters I've flown. Mine would snap out of the top of a loop if I pulled too much elevator. You can hand launch it so you could fly with no landing gear and no rudder if you wanted to build it light. Mine had the gear and rudder. Take offs were typical tail dragger. The build was very straight forward. I flew mine regularly for several years. It did a pretty cool knife edge and the high speed passes on the deck were awesome. I thought I had a better picture. For a while it did duty as an office decoration.
