Scratch-built Airplane for Tee Dee .051

You were warned! This is a plane I named Comanche. It was made by me to get me inverted, and stunting, without risking the larger planes.
It has a built-up profile fuselage, a symetrical ribbed wing airfoil, with nose ribs, and flaps for wild stunting. I'm not there, yet! I think it might be a smidgen tail-heavy, as the few flights it has, have been kind of unpredictable. It has flown on dacron lines, but I'm switching to the SpiderWire, since Ron showed that to me, and my Hyper Viper ate his set. So, if it gets more tame, it should be a fun one!
What are you guys building and flying?

Too late Doug!!!
You already inverted the Nobler
It's a neat little plane that Comanche. The elevator may be a tad stiff. Although you didn't have the problems I did with it.

Nice self-design. Looks a bit Hyper Viperish.
If it's unpredictably jumping up and down and can't find a groove, it does sound like some nose weight is needed. Looks like it has plenty of wing for stunt flying. How much does it weigh?

It is a stout, 9-1/2 ounces. It does "hunt" somewhat when flying. I suspected some nose-weight would help it's flying manners.
Wingspan is 30 inches; length, nose to tail is 22-1/2 inches.
