I have just ordered a ludicrously large BEC, and will rebuild the airframe. Just a few minor adjustments to the mk. 2. The fins will now be completely removable, because I have found that folding them under the wing creates storage and construction problems. This will allow the fins to extend below the wing to act as skids. The 25" section wing will now be included, as well as a 40" section wing. They will all have 1/8" wooden dowels embedded in the foam for strength. Also, the rear 1/4 of the fuselage pod will be removable to switch motors easily. I now have a turnigy 2826-10 for the larger wings. Because of this, all the wings will have an 8" prop slot instead of a 6".
All the wings, from largest to smallest, have wingspans of 29.5"(725mm), 42.5"(1040mm), 54.25"(1330mm), and 75.75"(1855mm). The sweep angles are 30, 22.5, 17.5, and 13 degrees respectively. This makes all the wings have the same sweep distance, and so the same CG.

6/7/13: all wings are up to the angle cut stage, and 2 of them have spars.

6/9/13: All wings have spars and control surfaces, the fins are as far along as possible without complete wings, and the fuselage is as far along as possible without the new parts. It only needs to be closed up and tapered at the nose.

6/10/13: All servos are set in the wings. Waiting for parts to progress further.

6/13/13: Parts have arrived, construction will resume tomorrow.

6/15/13: Done! Maiden will hopefully...Continue Reading
