Since the twin booms seem to be the way to go, and I was wanting a payload plane anyway, I decided to build a twin boom. This is 100% scratchbuilt, even the wing. I gave it an RC only maiden flight this morning, and it flew like a dream. Highly stable. I do plan on adding rudders though, as I want to do some AP work, and require flat turns. It has a 60" KFm3 airfoil. The fuse is 5" square (about) on the outside and big enough on the inside to stick my arm in it. The nose has a removable EPP foam panel, I will replace with clear plastic for FPV/AP runs.
Hey folks,
if anyone is interested, video on this plane is now up. It flies like a dream on 2s, and I after 25 minutes I was too cold to keep going, so I just landed and went home. Also, we had a 13 dollar keychain cam on board, so it's picture in picture with FPV.
nice plane you have built.
what is your measure of the wing?
wing chord and aileron size?
and how long is the body?
and how long is the boom?
thanks in advance
