A new platform "OWL" will soon be ready for small RC UAV / FPV flying.The plane will look like this:The model are made in glassfiber and balsa:More info on the OWL will come in the near future!A new Platform based on the Multiplex Alfa 2100 are on the Drawing board.Modified as a pusher.Wingspan 2.1MVery stabel platformGood for payload.
Apart form my previous remarks about fragile cam in the nose, the project has no provision for moving the wing forward and back.
With main payload in the nose, this is asking for troubles installing various cameras.
Of course I like the project, it's beautiful. But It can be problematic since it follows the big company thinking where we agree on one fixed payload then design an airframe. Pity the mold is done.

Looks great! Please let me know when the Owl will be available. I built Le Phan's ScanEaglet (62.5" wingspan; 28.5" fuselage) and would really like a fiberglase fuselage for more equipment. The wings also look like they will be more robust.

Electric power! but I gess you can modify to a small gas motor.
Please let me point this with big letters
This is not a scan-eagle!
yes the electric motor are mounted back of the plane and yes you can put a camera in front and yes it's a wing but it has nothing to do with the bigger scaneagle from Boeing.
This is a RC modelairplane - and the name is OWL it's made for FPV and UAV amateur rc flying.

I'm very interested in your OWL. Please save one for me.
Can't they see the point Hooks is trying to make?
