Completed and weighing 14.0g without rubber. I had to make a balsa prop, because the platic one I was going to use made the plane too nose heavy. The plane is trimming really well, like the other 900 series kits I have built. It was quite easy to get it to circle a large gym twice for abouit a 25 sec flight. |

Because this is a low wing plane, I added quite a bit of washout (starboard) and washin (port). This keeps it from wanting to spiral in a tight turn. |

I also chalked the domestic tissue to make it more opaque. |

I have started to cover the model with tissue that has details printed on it from a laser printer. The advantage of a laser printer, compared to an inkjet printer, is that the color is completely water proof. |
