Hi all,
I'm looking to develop an electric UAV fixed wing aircraft and I can't find a plane with a big enough cargo hold. The control board I will be using is 15.4cm by 10.3cm and I'm struggling to find any planes that it will fit into.
I have had success building a quady but the size of the board wasn't a big problem then.
I have looked at the Hobbyking MQ-9 Reaper and I don't think it is going to be big enough.
Does anybody know of any planes that would fit my rather large control board in? or of a workaround?
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance

Going to get a 10x6 prop to start off.
I really liked the X8 Wing but It would have been too expensive by the time I got the other bits for it because it is so big.
Thanks for all your ideas.
Need to find an AHRS next, theMongoose IMU looks good.
The best option is the X8 Wing from Bevrc.com or Fpvflying.com. The area in the fuse is 50cm x 25cm. I have one and it is a fantastic plane. Will lift over 2 KG and so easy to fly,

I had the Hobbyking Reaper and it was a waste of time and money.
You might just do best making your own fuselage. If you check out youtube with the term "hot wire RC" or "homemade plane" you'll get lots of videos of people making decent planes for only a few bucks worth of styrofoam.
People cut with hot wire or simply carve with razors or build up from layers of thinner EPS and then sand smooth.
The Skywalker?

Hi Lewis,
Welcome to the gang.
Does the board have to be orientated in a certain direction? if so which measurements are width and length?
