This is a plane I have been working on for some time now.
Wingspan is 60" and is a little heavy at 5.875 lbs.
Nose weight had to be added to balance the plane, so I put in a 6v 5 cell battery.
Don't think I will be making kits to sell. Can't wait to fly this one.

Nice work on the P-70. I flew a couple of P-70s, and they were great flying planes. Mine were in the 5 pound category too, and I used a fuel bladder in the bomb bay to run both engines. Big battery in the nose for balance, too.
