Psst, you could scale up the commuter too.

Psst, that's the plan but if i post pictures of me designing one it looks like its custom and not just a scaled commuter

Oh🤣🤣

Have you ever used Inkscape? It’s invaluable when scaling and designing planes.

Hey @Jo's squadron , how about making the payload 200gmin if a power pack b or c, and 100g if a or f?

 

[LitterBug]

Idk, looks a whole lot like a drone…

I did call it "a real cheat" LOL

 

[Mr Man]

Yes.😂

 

[Mr Man]

If you do that it must carry another 20000grams of payload.🤣

I'm already carrying 5 lbs of vinyl..... I honestly don't think it could do the transition to forward flight. It already is a questionable flyer. The additional weight plus bigger battery requirement would probably complely kill it.

That’s the point.🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Mr Man]

It is only an extra 40 pounds.😂

A plane with a boom on each wing and motors fore/aft of the wing. So it becomes a quad as well as a plane. (a real cheat)

Looks fun to make! (and fly)

I am really more likely just to take it to Combat at Flite Fest and have Stephan put a bounty on it right out of the gate.

Last year was the first time I flew a plane in combat. I was a shaking mess! So much fun, concentration, and terror all wrapped up in an excitring sensory overload! Flying the spider in past combats didn't compare, nor did spotting for people.

Maybe @Dutch Breeze would like to join?

So how is combat done? my brother and me have tried to hit each other before but couldn't (got close though!)

When there are 100+ planes in the air, chances of things colliding is much greater!
