Yes you do.. 1/7 scale 110" ws, 110" long. Will be offered as a kit late next year. It only takes, 6,000 ar6400 bricks to fly it. lol

Very funny !

I think 200 would do lol, and a pain in the arse to bind. and i guess you could have a úber edf running on 800v

Could you actually do that? Use like 200… or 20?

haha... very true.. anyways, here's a link to the build thread for those interested:

I have to second that..
Makes me want to go out and buy some Durobatics.

What CAD tools did you use? I've not had any luck finding anything useful that is easy enough to use for this purpose.

Depends what Tx you are using. but it is theoretically possible

GUESS WHAT I JUST STARTED BUILDING! 6th Ver. 4 micro 14"! Yay! It is 14" for the WS. AUW should be about 45-60g. I am just guessing.

i think the weight is far too heavy, for a plane of that size you are going to be needing 35-40g max. That looks close to the 4-site, depending on your success, i may have a go. Have you started a build thread and what size Depron is that?

Weight does seem a bit on the high side, but if your going brushless, just throw more power on it

I've got 4 flights on mine so far, and it will literally fly around under 1/4 throttle at just over a walking pace (but much lower than a jog). Long down-lines w/ the power pulled to idle (and no ESC braking) it doesn't pick up much speed. rolls are fairly axial, knife edge requires very little rudder. inverted just a touch of down elevator. slow 1 roll Rolling circles can get interesting though. If you feed to much rudder into it, it will actually counter-act the ailerons and stop rolling and just start going into a knife-edge loop, so you have to be very smooth and precise with the rudder. I've got mine balanced about 1/3 of the way back on the upper wing and it seems about perfect, as their is no knife edge coupling in this position.

If you are using 2mm depron for the fuselage, i would recommend adding another layer around the motor mounting area, or some very lightweight fiberglass cloth (1/2oz would do on both sides). This is one thing on mine that i wish i had done, but didn't think it was necessary, but have found out it is (the 6th doesn't like tree's).

Also use some extremely small carbon tubing and run "V" bracing down the bottom of the fuselage from the tail all the way to the nose. The weight gain was only 3-4g on my model using .050" carbon rod and it is much stronger. For the wings, i suggest doing an "X" brace w/ .050" carbon rod as well. The aft brace should go thru the outboard upper wing, the hover flap area, the lower fuselage and then into the lower wing. Then the forward one should go thru the outboard lower wing, upper fuselage, inboard upper wing.

Thanks! That is very helpful. I will use a little more foam bracing for the side fuse V. The AUW I gave was just a rough guess. My AUW on my Micro Avion 16" was 31g. I have a shorter WS, but 2 wings. I guess 45g. is my max. I am also going to use an APO5, Thunder Bird 6A, maybe 240mah 20c 2 cell. I will start a build log after I finish this reply. When you said Staples didn't cut it right, does that mean they cut it with a CNC machine for you? That would be nice.

Very nice! Video? Oh, and build thread/plans?

they didn't print it right.. i asked them to print it at 65% of actual size (18" ws), but they printed it to fit the paper size (which ended up being 20" ws).

Thanks. I just added everything up, and AUW should be 41g. It will probably be awhile before I get electronics, but I could get them for Christmas. So no vids yet.

i think i will do 18" WS if i can get the plans, i have a tool for scaling and tiling
