Sorry, been out for a while.
It took almost a year and a half.
Currently redesigning the wings with new profile.
Thank you for the appreciation, Wyliest
No parts from other planes.
Wings are cut from styrofoam, covered with balsa sheets and oracover white film.
Fuselage is made of glass fiber out of a custom mold.
Mold itself was built around a foam mockup.
V tail are two balsa strips covered with oracover.
Booms are obtained from two arrows.
Motor is an AXI 2820 with an 60 amps controller.
Batteries are 4 x 3000 mAh LiFePo4.
No "intelligence" on board, for the moment.
Not bad, after all. At first attempt it didn't take off at all, so I increased wing incidence.
Then I flew it only for some minutes: stall speed is slow and it's fairly manouverable, for one that has few piloting experience like me
