Beautifully done. 55lbs??? Man, how did you keep it that light.
The landing looks like it's nice and light. Wow.

Built very light in the tail, sheeted with 1/16 balsa in the rear end, tailcone shapped foam and glassed. Only took 3 pounds of lead in the nose to balance. Typically, I can keep a 120 inch, or smaller, airplane under 60 pounds (comes form the old days of the 55 limit), except a P-47. Similar to its full scale counterpart, it just seems hard to keep a P-47 light (at least for me). Seafury's can be tuff too, but got my 110 inch to 51 pounds.
