I'm wondering what the weight would be ready to go, I have a glass hull Huntsman same size which just about planned on a Graup 700, didn't try it myself as I too fancied a glow instead...the R/C wouldn't be much and you could get away with 6oz of fuel I think,

Looking at an old mag but no Huntsman in the multi race line up in 1967..! Swordsman yes, all powered by Rossi 60's and the like...!!!

This netbook is hard work for posting stuff!
