That's nice looking, the pic makes it look much bigger than reality, with light pla and e6 and electronics it would be about 11.5 ounces assuming not significant nose weight needed and 1.5 sq foot area, 1.5 oz heavier and heavier wing loading than my 3x spaceplane upscale in foam/cardboard, but a much more efficient airfoil of course. It's a nice shape and the motor isn't far back which helps CG shift..

Frank,

I was thinking of you, when I found this and posted it . . .

With that technology, you would no longer be tied to designs that use commercial body tubes, as the fuselage . . . Rock & Roll !

Yes that's true, it's getting very interesting.
