I have been designing my drone from scratch on CAD for around 3 months now, and shes ready to be flown around the world! =D
The Predecessor (pusher-twin boom design)
Wingspan: 80" (3 peice, semi-solid wing)
Length : 40" (nose to tail)
For any more info please ask!

The wings are oversized for the purpose of carrying a heavy payload (APM+video gear and big battery!)
This also means flying medium/slow should provide enough lift slow passes, meaning awesome not blurry, shakey video

heres a basic Idea of a simular design
right now I only have est. on weights, since I dont have this plane fully built and flyable yet...
but Id guess areound 5lbs.
If I did the wind area right I should have just under 600N of lift.
I fly and have been experimenting in building planes that people sit in. But I'm just starting to deal with R/C sized aircraft. So my questions for you are:
1) what is your design Max Gross Weight?
2) Is this based on any specific Wing loading or other structural limitation?
3) Can you point me to R/C based design references so that I can get smarter on these sized planes??
Sorry for all the questions, but I figured since you are offering up your planes for review I figured I ask these up front...
I just today got all my foam, and other parts today to finish my build! I should be up soon! with a final product! =D
Right now I have the fusealodge, ribs, and body formers all cut out and in place!
I apologise about the confusion, I ment inches, not feet! haha
