Setting this baby up for FPV.
EPP modified Sukhoi - SU47 jet (Semi Thrust Vectoring)
Ok, I am doing it to myself again. Overloading myself with projects but hey, fun is fun. I designed her in Adobe Illustrator with a 24'' wingspan 31'' in length so that it all fits on one sheet of 24x36 EPP. I will be building her entirely out of EPP with a 3mm CF spar in the wing.
The motor will be in the middle of the plane to assist with CG and since the rear elevons are behind the motor it will act as ghetto thrust vectoring since the control surface is redirecting the airflow. Should make for some fun aerobatics.
Motor:

8x4 prop
18a ESC
1800mah 3s lipo
2x HXT 900 servos
Cheapo CX161 cam
HXT 500 pan servo
300mw VTX
Thinking about just running a single battery system.
I plan on building the entire plane, sans FPV gear, in about 3 hours. I will take some pictures and post the build.
