My seconds twin boom attempt

This is my second attempt at a twin boom. Made from 9mm depron hot glue and nylon re-enforced tape, with a 2m wingspan. The wing is a KF2 profile with a single c/f rod for stiffening.

Running a 2200kv motor 8 inch prop and 2200mAh battery. Weighs in at a tad under 650grams. Had the motor running at about 60% throttle for over 25 minutes. At full throttle it can almost go vertical. I haven't decided what features to have in the nose cone yet so its just curved depron.

 

I'm waiting for the wind to settle here in Bedford UK to do some test flights. I'm sure we have more then the average number of windy days here.

My first attempt was similar using a KF3 wing at 1.2m span, which i stalled and crash within the first 10 seconds of flying. I was still happy, as it was me, not the plane that was at fault.

 

Anyway this my second go, some tweeks still needed once I get a chance to do some low level tests done.
