Alrighty, since I'm throwing my name in the hat for this lovely challenge, may as well post up what I've been working on.
This is my first entry, there may be more as time permits:
Name: Mercury V1
Power: FT 1806 Motor with 6x4.5 prop on Tattu 2S 800mah battery for preliminary tests. Then moving on to 3S 850mah or 1300mah battery and 5x5 prop. Don't really know what I'm doing here, ha
Construction: 95% DTFB, some 3D printed parts for motor mounting, control horns, wing hold down, etc. and a CF tube for spar
Should be just a shade over 300g with the 2S battery ready to fly but it has a pretty big wing so should (hopefully) be able to handle the heavier 3S batteries without much problem. My motor mounting arrangement should allow swapping to a larger motor relatively easy though I'll have to be careful with the CG.
825mm span, tip of motor shaft to tip of vertical stabilizer about 765mm
I'm not too keen on my wing and wing hold downs, but at this point I just want to get to building something, I've done extremely little with flying fast so this is more of a learning experience for me than anything else.
Some screengrabs. It's not a paint scheme nor am I colorblind, I merely use different colors to denote different materials.
