Here is the "Tiny" from Todd's Models...also known as the Triangle from other places.  The kit was
$49, and the motor/battery/prop was around $100.  I used their superlight aerobatic carbon prop
as suggested, and it seems to have lots of pull.  I haven't flown yet, but will post info when I do.

The Tiny is all balsa with a carbon fiber boom.  I covered it with Ultrakote because I got fed-up with
trying to apply the mylar film that comes with the kit.  The pushrods are carbon fiber sticks with .047
steel on the ends to connect to the control horns.  I used two Hitec HS-50 servos which are the same size
as the HS-55 but a few grams lighter.  The speed controller is a micro Jeti and battery is 8-cell, 150mah.

I used the wheels from Todd's Models to save weight, and built up the landing gear with carbon fiber
and .047" steel rod.  I decided not to use the rudder system they suggest to save some weight.  This is
my second "Tiny" and the first one flew fine without a rudder.  It was just too heavy with bigger components
and crashed after an attempted loop.
