Default RE: GP Rapture

Glad to hear a positive report on the Rapture. I have been considering it, I may let my wife buy me one for birthday. She gets me a new plane every year (what a gal).

Engines seem to be getting lighter, I usually lengthen the nose on my kits and scratch builds. I prefer not to add weight if possible. When I built an older version of the SS40, I had to add 1/2 oz to the nose to keep it at the max aft, and decrease the elevator throw to 5/16". (it has a huge elevator).

Good looking plane. I'm glad GP recognizes the need for a simple sport plane. They are a rare company that listens to the voice of modelers. Anxious to hear about your first flights.
