Your Komet looks like it will be quite nose heavy, mine was too, I had my battery behind the wing and had to add lead to the tail. the elevon reflex will overcome this but only at higher speeds.

Mine went like a rocket.(sorry about the pun) rolled real fast but was still a little nose heavy for real sharp pitch maneuvers. and the wingspan was a little short for combat. hope all goes well on it's maiden flight.

These kits are available from Roy Appleton, web master of www.texascombat.com, a complete construction and flight report is available on www.georgiacombat.com

You did good, she's a very pretty young lady.Got her looks from her mom I'd guess

Very nice!
The plane is pretty cool too!

All kidding aside, the Cobra is definately one HOT plane! I've got 2 now and they fly like they are on rails!
My A class Cobra has an LA 15 turning an APC 7X4 @ over 19K! this was attained on a standard clunk tank, not a bladder! Very close to "B" speeds and turns like there is no tomorrow!
