Neat!
I would think another inch or two of prop extension would be necessary to keep the CG close to good.....or a lead fake tailhook...

Have fun!

That is way too cool for words!!!!!
One problem though. That's a lot of weight to  be added that far forward of the CG.

I do love it though.

 Looks like a wildly over-engineered Sabre Stunt. Even has an old Tornado prop. Very nicely done though, and pretty darn cool. y1

Check out this one. Monokote?

Anyone notice the lead outs appear to be non adjustable?

That looks really, really nice.  Is that a 4 stroke trying to hide under the cowl? H^^

I don't see any adjustable lead outs. ???

   He does some really neat stuff, and his plans are works of art in and of themselves.

 Looks like some Saito valve covers poking out there Doc, and the leadouts appear to be the multi-hole "pull out-move-push in" adjustable type, or whatever they're called.
