OK @Rohan -- a microjet under 1,000 lb, only 50 gallons of fuel. It will get you from Tarpleys to the near East Island. My first entry.

@Rohan Thx, it probably won't win but I did hit the micro-jet rules with ease. If I could add fuel, it would have both longer-range and better handling.
Amazing!
Thanks @nickasaurusrex
@Stingray oo intersting
Try dead weight. @Stingray
Would certainly not be the case if the 50 gal fuel requirement was ignored. The small engine is a "floating" type that lightens the model when installed. @AgnesDesign
Agree, and it would not happen if I could exceed the 50 gal limit by placing fuel in the wings & tails. I feel 50 gallons is unrealistic for a minute. @Exumer
Nice! But I wonder how is the empty weight heavier than the loaded weight though haha
I must say, the nose pitches down a lot
Thanks @Delphinus
Thank you @Rohan
Thank you @Jacobhardy64
