Just trying to fit the ailerons now then ultracoat. This is my first large wing so I hope its strong enough.

Its a 50 inch wing, the final will probably be bigger. Its my own design but I have copied the rib sections from some old plans. Been doing alot of wheeled robotics too using basics X but im gonna get it flying with a copilot first before I try anything else :o

K, nearly finished the shell. I know its not that interesting, but put alot of hours in.

Here is the covered wing. Colour is boring grey, was all they had at the model shop but I guess it fits.

And here is all the internal stuff. The empty forward deck section is for my basic X board. All this model is gonna do is continue on a bearing. I will have a compass and an easy radio on the board, and you will be able to update its heading. Still working on that but wanna see if it flys with a coipilot first. Thats all I plan for this one. I want more room if im gonna put gps in so thats for the second model

Thanks. They are bought plans but I got really imaginative with them. It looks the same covered but the structure of the inside is completely different.

Can get the plans from www.traplet.com/ Just do a search for sparkobat, think the plans are like $13 or somerthing
