Yes that is Monokote on the tail. I have been working with the cloth and I do like it, but it is going to be heavier than the Monokote. With the extra added weight of the 31cc Ryobi I decided to go with Monokote on this plane to try and keep the weight down as much as I can. I have already beefed up the landing gear because of the extra weight and that to add a few more onces. I know the power of the Ryobi is a little less than a 1.20 nitro weighting half as much. I have moved the 5 cell battery pack, receiver, and both rudder and elevator servos to the rear of the body and she is still going to be nose heavy. That is why I decide to use MonoKote over cloth on this plane. I will us the cloth on the Balsa USA Taube 40 I now have. I too have about three more planes to build after this one and the holidays are slowing me down. How is you old timer coming?

Thanks
