Default Super Kraft Monocoupe.

Mine is ready for the first engine run, but no photos yet. Maybe tomorrow. I used a Zenoah G-26 with an APC 18-6 wide blade and the total dry weight came out at 14.25 lbs.

One "necessary" thing I did was add a 1/8" black stripe betweem the red and white. It really sets the scallops off nicely.

Very nice plane, even though the wing area is nearly 100 square inches less than advertised. They forgot to subtract the curved area at the tips that isn't there. Still, wing loading as around 24, great for this size plane.

Look for full review in an upcoming issue of R/C REPORT Magazine.
