Default RE: Hellcat F6F Wild Hare RC - G-Pete's build and review

The Don Smith Hellcat is same size as the Byron Hellcat that has flown fine at 32 lbs and above. The Sierra mains with Robart wheels and doors alone are just under 4 lbs. The G 62 is very heavy and I have already added 2 lbs of nose weight to the cowling. The model is all wood with a glass and resin finish. All panel lines, hatches, and rivets are on the model. It also has a latex finish. The main problem I have these days is carrying the plane up the steps and into my truck. I had a Top flight giant F4u-4 at 32 lbs and it flew fine.
Thanks P51Tom
