Four motor foam board plane
I have built a bunch of foam board planes and have been very satisfied with single engine and two engine varieties. I would like to build a four engined plane out of foam board. I have a few criteria:
1 Must be electric (have 2 1806 and 2 2204 motors
2 Can't have a wingspan greater than 48 inches (1219 mm).
Wiring is not an issue I have that covered. I'm not concerned about being scale and my builds are certainly not beatiflul like some of the builds I've seen here. More concerned about flying than appearance.
I can 3d print any parts needed.
I would welcome any design suggestions. Right now just thinking of a four motor Tiny Trainer, but theres got to be a better idea out there.
Thanks.
There was a Bloody WWII collection uploaded a few years back. A wide range of planes built in the style of the Bloody Baron. I can see a B-17 and a Tupolev Tb-3 in the list. Dunno if the plans are still available.
But, if you want suggestions for your own design, I shall suggest the Kawanishi H8K:
The fuselage has some relatively flat sides to the fuselage, which should make it fairly easy to capture a realistic form.
