About ready for covering.

It is starting to look like a Hellcat

Prop is a GWS 8 inch cut down to 6,5 inches.

The motor is rated at 5 ounces thrust. I'm not satisfied with the canopy, a new one is in work.

all the parts weigh 4.3/4 ounces at this point. The target is 6 ounces.

Steve, that's exactly what it is. I'm not sure how long it will last but there are two ailerons and the rudder so a single failure shouldn't be a problem.

Does the linkage bend at the corner with the stuff that looks like black shrink wrap on it?

While Comet models have a reputation for being lightly built this one is very robust, it has 3/32 stringers and a strong wing spar. at this point it weighs 44 grams.

framing complete. Right wing done including aileron mechanism and rib cap striping.

I've got this same kit stashed away so it'll be good to see you build it without harming the contents of the kit. Especially interesting to see the R/C conversion.

This will be an RC model. That makes it several times longer to build due to removable wing hatches and equipment installation.

I borrowed this kit. I copeid the plans and printwood so that the kit remains intact.
