That's an amazing flight - congratulations! Could you tell me what the all-up weight of the model is? A few of us in the UK are pondering whether to enter Comet 54" models in the Kit Scale class at next year's BMFA Indoor Scale Nationals. The potential pitfall is a maximum weight limit of 200 grams. We think it is achievable with careful wood selection and a rear motor peg brought up to just behind the wing (moving the rear peg is an allowed modification). Looking at how slowly your Taylorcraft flies in the cruise, I'm guessing it must be under 200 grams? Sure hope so!
