Not much info on this bird. I have only one very small picture, and it may be an artist's rendering. By zooming way in though, you can see some details, and I may be able to get some dimensions by counting pixels.

Here's the content of the kit. Nice quality components I think for the price. The balsa is better quality than a couple other kits I have from TLP. It was nice to get a blue mylar parachute, to go with the spiffy blue and white paint job. (That I hope to apply in the future.)

My first step was to do a full scale drawing of the rear, so I could visualize what's going on back there. I'm going to do a TTW construction, as light as I think I can get away with. The fins don't have much of a contact point, but with some fin tabs glued to the exhaust tube with some balsa bracing, I'm hoping all will be well.

That's all for today folks.
