Experimental home built rc airplane

by Matt
(Saginaw /Texas/US)

7ft wingspan weighing in at just over 9lbs (empty), it will take a G-28 2 stroke engine, carry 10 ounces of fuel and will have 7 servos.
It was extremely tail heavy when I bought it so I added almost 2lbs of lead shot in the nose under the fuel tank!
Construction is of balsa and bass wood, with fiberglass sheet covering. It can be trainer (low rate), aerobatic (high rates) and will also be capable as a tow plane for large gliders.
