Here's a few shots of the Musciano Thunderbird I'm building for the Arizona 1/2a contest this October. I plan on flying it in the stunt portion of the musciano event. What's a good target weight with a black widow for power?

Sorry I cannot answer your question, but I can and will say that you have done a beautiful job of the plane.

Under 8 ounces if you want it to stunt.

This plane made that weight and stunted.

Thanks, I'm at 5.75oz so I should make it.

Jim, that looks great!
I haven't seen that design
before. It looks like a
Curtiss R3C racer.

Is there a vent hole on the
bottom of the cowl to let
hot air out?

Thank you!

I opened some "exhaust" ports on the side and opened up the landing gear exit. Hopefully it's enough but I can always add a bottom vent if I need to.
