Default Is my original Taco to heavy????

Well as you see it, it weighs in at 2 pounds 3 oz. I still have to get the landing gear, wheels, Rx, servos, fuel tank, switch, and all linkages installed. I should be able to get it in the air just at or just under 3 pounds. Power is a Super Tigre G 34H with a modified heat sink head and stock muffler. I was thinking about using a 10X4 prop to start.

Cool. I was worried it was going to be a toad. Mine is built totally out of scraps. I had a 3/4, 1/2 rolls of blue aand a 1/2 roll of OLD CG Ultra coat neon pink, a scrap roll of yellow. Most of the balsa came out of the scrap box too.

I will have to spend some money on thje aluminum for the gear and for the wheels. I also need to get servos for it.
