80" Wing - suitable as a platform for UAV

Work has stared on a 80" Flying RiteWing - based on a TL60 with an added 20" centre Section.Powerplant will be 4S 10300 mah Lipo, at about 800 watts full throttle, but should cruize at 200 watts, so about 45 minutes flying time. Expected weight is 3.5 kg, and should be able to carry a fair bit more payloadThe wings remove, so transport is only 2 x 30" wing sections and one 20" centre section.The Wings only house one digital full size servo each, so nice an simple, everything else is in the centre section.Also will be running (removable) landing gear.Build photos so far :-)
