i had one of these a few years ago, mine was covered with monocote and used a quadra 35 it needed 1 lb of tail weight to balance!!! all up weight was 17 lbs. if i was to do it again i would use koverall and paint. change over to a wing tube instead of the stubs. i would probally use the same engine or comparible (there are lighter engines availible now with same power)

and one word of advice for landing this bird ALWAYS land tail up! has a nasty stall if you try to 3 point her!
