| I have started to trim the model. Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDHd0uSeHDQ&feature=youtu.be The glide phase need more right turn, so that it won't hit a wall. I am also maxing out at around 600 winds, so I will be adding a longer piece of rubber. |

The Reliant joins the Peanut Christmas Tree which has grown a little over the last couple years. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS. |

| Thanks, I am using one loop of 1/8" Tan II that is 9" or twice the peg-hook distance. I am hoping to put at least 800 turns in. |

| Beautiful. What sort of rubber motor are you using? One or two loops? 1 1/2 or 2 times motor hook to peg distance? Something else? |

The large prop is quite non-scale but a necessity for a long flight. |

The large tab on the port wing is meant to keep this wing from dropping in a left turn. |

I built a light balsa prop because I thought a plastic prop would have been too heavy. |

The Reliant finished up at 6.3g, but quite nose heavy. It actually glides quite well without the prop and nose block. |

The completed fuselage and stab come in at 3.7g, 0.6g more than the penny in the foreground. The wing struts poke through the balsa gear fairings so that I can adjust the dihedral, when I attach the wings. |

| Wish I could build them like this...impressive! |

I am covering the model with pre-shrunk domestic tissue the has been chalked with red. The black markings are from an laser printer. |

The cowl is a light frame, wrapped with 1/32 sheet, |

The sparse framework of Comet is ideal for a peanut model. The ribs are 1/32 contest balsa. |

| Nice clean work; great to see another peanut! |
| John Cooper, Image # 24378 | 20 Dec 11 13:20 |
This is a peanut scale (13"), build from scaled down Comet SR-7 plans. |
