Default RE: Getting Excited about CL--Again!

Well, I am ready to give it a try. I call it the CL TLAR. (That looks about right.) Here are a few photos. The first version was so nose heavy, I decided to lengthen the fuse a full 2 inches. Now it balances about an inch back from the LE. I also replaced the 1/8: balsa tail feathers with 1/4 inch. I was a little disappointed the Cub Yellow Lustre Coate didn't cover a little better. I had prepped the surface with a dope sandable sealer. Again, this is just an experiment. I have a larger tank, but am afraid the run time will be too long, so went with a film can. I plan to fly it today on 42 foot dacron lines. Flight report to follow.
