Default RE: looking for a ME 163

My ME-163 had an 82 inch wingspan, Saitta fuse, foam wings, AXI 4130/16 electric motor upfront with an ESTES E9P rocket motor in the back. The rocket motor is activated by a 9 volt transistor battery onboard the model by a micro-switch. Dolly free falls off during takeoff. "Flies great, very easy to slow down and land." I had cut a foam wing for mine and sheeted with balsa then glassed it. Had a 15 x 8 electric APC prop.
