This is a Kombat Komet built from plans that were in Model Airplane News back in July 1999. This was a real simple plane to build I think I built it in one day and it flew awesome. I never really flew it in any combat meets just some informal stuff at the club field. I don’t think it was scale enough for real meets anyway. I think it called for a .10 – .20 but I put a .25 in it and it was a real rocket, at full throttle if I blinked it was all over. I did break the wing of once or twice but it was real easy to fix. I ended up retiring it one day and just threw it out. I will build another one of these some day as I still have the plans somewhere.
It’s suppose to resemble a German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet from WWII.
I just copy/enlarged the plans right out of the magazine and taped them all together.

Few minor details and it was finished and ready for Combat!
