ORIGINAL: YellowAircraft

I'm building this one for single ops just for weight savings. With an engine as light as the K180, I will definitely be able to get this bird to build out to 35 pounds or less, RTF minus fuel. That will make her a KITE to land. That means less fatigue on the airframe with each landing, and a generally easier to fly jet.
Smart move. Less hassle, flies better, more fun.
