The planes weighs about 4 1/2 lbs. all up. I am using a 9x6 prop, not sure of the rpms. I am a beginner and belong to a club, but not many people are out flying this time of year. This isn't my primary trainer though, I am flying a Goldberg Eagle II for the most part and it flys like a dream.

I don't use rubber bands for the engine mount, I screwed the firewall to the fuse. I also thought about adding some incidence to the horizontal stab. Today I will fly it a little faster to see what happens. I think I will probably just get a more traditional trainer fuse to put the motor and everything in though.
