Damage is motor mount, and right wing. Its nearly repaired already. Next attempt will have about 3 degrees down thrust, a couple of notches of down elevator trim and the cg moved forward a little. I'll launch it with about 3/4 throttle instead of full since I'd ather it sag into the ground than zoom and stall.

First flight attempt was not so good. It zommed up at about a 60 degree angle to about 20 feet, stalled then rolled right and came straight down. First flights on a new design are difficult since you don't reall knoe cg location. elevator trim angle and, in this case, down thrust. The real Hellcat has considerable down thrust which isn't shown on the Comet plans and probably should be.

plaster pilot parts removed from plaster mold. I used non stick cooking spray as the mold release.
