I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The structure is the same as the plans except the usual make it fly changes, Nose block, Increase Dihedral, Peck Polymers Wheels, nose button, shaft and prop. If I had it all over to do again, I would open up the last couple of formers. It gets pretty narrow back there for the rubber.

Hmmm, I think I might have to join you in building one. Did you make any structural changes (other than wood selection) to the Hurricane?

Won't beleive it, but my wife timed it at 57 seconds, used 3/16 rubber and peck 6 inch prop. The final weight before clay and rubber is 23 grams. I did not use Guillows wood, but I also did not use great wood. I am going to build this again using quality balsa and no structure changes. I think I can get it under 20 grams. Just finished the Guillows Hurricane using contest balsa and she weighs 17 grams.

Some excellent pictures here, Scigs. What times from this one? Any idea what the final weight was, and what prop/rubber did you use?

The Hellcat is one of Guillows best flying WWII birds. The covering looks loose because of the air moisture.

This was another Guillows kit that I modified. Used quality balsa, and blue Esaki tissue. Flies great.
