if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

It's a very short nose - get all the heavy bits well forward!

I'm going to put a 91 4s in so the weight should be sufficient, I hope, but thanks for the heads-up

Maybe a 1.20 would be better.

Get thee behind me......!
I think you might be right though - if it would fit!
Cheers

These shots show the tail wheel assembly.
Really flimsy and therefore removed, otherwise I'm sure it would simply rip the tail off on the first landing.
The nylon 'hinge' can just be seen by the blue section - this was what the straight wire went through and the L shape was buried in the balsa rudder about an inch beneath that nylon. The angled stretch to the wheel, rested on the base of the rudder. You can see where I epoxied it.
Absolutely hopeless!
