Just finished this second Taco, the first one was lost due to interference using a Feather Rx.
Here are some pictures and specs.
WS: 24"
Engine: Norvel .061
Receiver: FMA Quantum 6.
Servos: 3 Hitec 55, 1 micro Hobbico for throttle
Batteries: 250 mha NiMh
Weight: Dont know...light I guess as it flies well.
It is a very good flier, is a pleasure to watch it take off from the runway like a big plane. Needs a little bit of work to make it a good funfly plane, like playing with the CG and minor adjustments. Rolls, loops and basic maneuvers are like a big bird.

Taco Poquito!!!!!!!!!
I like it. Looks like you did a real good job scaling that little thing down.
I am currently working on a .049 size version of my Jupiter. Plan to cover it this weekend. It is going to a friend as part of a trade, but I cannot wait to see how it flies. I hope it is successful as yours!

Thanks for your comments and luck with your project.
Since I posted the pictures I had the opportunity to test fly and work on the Taquito a little more. I found that it is slightly on the heavy side, with power it flies very well but when the engine dies it does not floats the way a funfly should.
This week I will be adding 1 1/4" wing tips to increase the WA, I hope this helps.
