Now I'm focussed on testing and configuring APM with a smaller/cheaper platform.
I'll be posting news about the the big project soon.

Please excuse this comment, but a 2 kilo payload doesn't seem like a great payload for that large of an airplane. I assume that is full electronics package loaded and fueled.

Any flights tests already??

It looks like it has a long nose that would hold a lot of gear and fuel. Would love to do one about like that.

Did you have a template for that or did you design and do all the calculations yourself?

Looks pretty clean, hope it works as well as it looks.

Yep thats a biggun ,you might want to stay with the foam atleast on the leading edges and nose just for safety . you might have to paint pink bunnies all over it to keep the old ladys from calling the police!! haha
