What wingspan or weight would you start considering something as giant?
Also, this is a great place to ask: I am going to be building a 60" or maybe bigger foam "cub" type plane entirely for lifting a camera. Since I'm now using the cheap blue foam, I was thinking about going even bigger. I don't think I even need 60", but bigger sounds fun. I have a 80-90 gram motor that can produce about 1200 grams of thrust and the plane with camera will weigh less than 3 lbs, I believe. If I can get 3 lbs of thrust, I'm sure a 4-5 lb plane would be fine, but what do I need to watch out for when going so big? I'm basically taking plans for a 52" plane and expanding them and will put a few more carbon rods in here or there.
Thx!
