That is one sweet plane !!! I like it a lot. The only problem I think you might have is that you might have to rebalance it after you put the engine on. You might want to put a different color on the bottom for orientation(that might not be spelled correct, but you know what I mean:D :D :D )

I had a problem with which side is up with my QHOR. When flying close to the ground, there is not much room for error....

Where did you get the yellow checkerboard?:confused: ? I lke it a lot.....

Do you live in a warm climate?

I used black coro on pizza box and it warped while sitting in the sunlight. Made for interesting flying.

It does look great though!
