Here goes, I will be doing this as a part of a bigger project (Link 1, Link 2), but Ill post the plane building process here.
I got the plans from a fellow user nerdnic (he has a thread about his scaled plans). I printed them on A3 paper and cut the wing template out. I didn't print the bottom wing since it was practically just a rectange, so I just traced in on the depron. I now got both wings cut out, beveled and ailerons cut out ready.
I also didn't cut any holes for servos and pushrods, since I don't yet have the servos I'm going to use. I will be ordering them from hobbyking soon. I haven't yet decided if I want to install flaps on this plane. It will not be used for any serious aerobatics and I'v seen the roll rate I think that if I cut the ailerons in half and made flaps off of them it would still have a lot of authority on roll. But I'v seen how slow 125% size flies, so I don't know if 200% version need any slowing down
Tomorrow I will buy some 12 mm aluminium tubes to go in as wingspars and will build the wings. After that I will focus my attention to the fuselage. I will want to use the finished wing profile to trace the holes in the fuselage, since I am using depron in this build and it might cause the airfoil to be slightly fatter/thinner in some places, especially since the material thickness is 6 mm.
Here are some pictures of the wing so far, I was amazed of how big (and fat ) they actually are:
PS: I thought I was gonna be able to build this out of one 2500 mm x 800 mm x 6 mm sheet. How wrong I was...
