Scratchbuilt twin boom

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.

  • what did you use to design this plane? did you use a software or did you do it the old fashioned way (paper and pencil)
  • WOW! i really like your plane design. how much payload can it carry? can you upload a pdf file containing a schematic of it? i'd like to build it myself and modify it some.
  • 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?
