I finished this one a couple of months ago but due to a number of reasons, today was the first time it flew. I have to admit it flys very nicely. It's the House of Balsa T-6 20 size kit. Nice wood, instructions a bit vague in places, not a major concern if you've built a few planes. Span 44", OS 15 FP for power, four channel, all up weight 2 lbs 3 oz including 2 oz of lead for balance. The plane grooves really well and was not affected much by the gusty conditions at the flying field today. I'm very pleased with it.

Cheers!

Nice picture

We used these quite a few years ago for fun racing in between seasons. The engine required was the OS20 bushing engine and they grooved fairly well. If we smacked it up you built another from the plans and used a coke bottle bottom for the cowl. Needless to say I probably built about six since everybody was either in the road or I was.
I now have a HB P51 with a Royal 25 but haven't flown it yet. Builds the same way except a few more parts.
