Need opinions.

Hey guys, I have recently began modeling a wing in SolidWorks and as of now it is coming good but I'm afraid it will be too complex to make someday realistically. As of now I do not have the construction experience to build such a plane but was wanting some constructive criticism on whether it is too complicated or not. I have made a quick video of it with exploded view and workings of control surfaces. As of now it just includes hinges, control surfaces and coverings. Servos are already modeled and will be going in next. Let me know what you think and please do not flame.

 

Thanks Jeff.

Unfortunately as of now its only a design, I don't have the necessary equipment and experience to fly when it would be ready. I am getting a Bixler and working on that then probably moving to a very dumbed down foam version of this so when I crash its easy to fix/tweak. When I do actual start the build in the future if there was an interest I could start a build log. Ultimately if I can master flying it I'd like to set it up with an APM but I need to keep my attention on just getting it made and learning how to fly in general and also the finished product.

Jeff, if you are starting downn the long road of rc flying have a look at the slowstik its a great plane to learn on, easy to fix and once you have got the basics sorted can be heavily modified and actually can lift quite heavy loads (ie cameras)
