Default Scratch built MB326

Attached is a picture of a 71inch wingspan MB326 scartch built by a buddy of mine. G/F fuselage with foam/veneer wings and an all up dry weight with a BMT120 is 18lbs. Yes it performs extremely well and we turned the power down to 20lbs (we don't have the AMA to contend with where I live). Colour scheme is the display team of the South African Air Force. Uses local retracts and homebuilt u/c legs. Plane flew very well, has the right look in the air but overpowered compared to scale but the pilot flew most of the flight at below half throttle.

Next steps are to lighten the plane and to get the turbine to be reliable - two flights two flame outs. It is suspected latter was caused by restrictive tailpipe.
