I´ll try making some plans for it. its not any problematic build of my opinion. To make the first prototype was the worst... how long did the nose needed be to counteract mostly the weight at rear? eg......

Maybe do an edf version.
ts easy, to exchange the balljoint phone holder system for my thrust vector system rear fuselage with motor and tailfins, with eg. a resized EDF vector joint as for the FT Retro Rocket, and the fuselage parts adjusted in diameter to fit that EDF vector system and your EDF to use.

Misha Omsk . Urgently make reinforcement from the tip of the fuselage to the end of the wing with a carbon fiber rod. Otherwise, even with a non-rigid landing, you will lose part of the fuselage with the wing.

I have a question about scratch building the Tubby B-17.
On the plans, the upper and lower wing sections are in 2 pieces. The build video shows a double bevel and has them on one- Or at least two connected sheets of foam. The box of foam I have has all individual pieces - None are connected. How do I build the wings? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Made some progress on my Retro Rocket! The kit has been sitting around my workspace since FliteFest, but I got the pusher prop electronics and started building it a few days ago. The fuselage is all done aside from the battery hatch and it's looking pretty good if I do say so myself! :D

YEEEESSS! Thank You! Twin 50mm edf’s?
It is my first design and I just graduated from my trainer, and right now I am first focusing on looks, so it doesn't look like a Minecraft plane. And I don't have enough money for electronics, much less EDFs. But you could check the plans I uploaded. Please halp me with v.2
