In the spirit of procrastinating on existing projects by starting and finishing entirely new ones, I present the Bone!
It's around 1.4kg when all is said and done, which is fairly heavy for its wing area (Cube loading is ~7). I'm hoping to hand-launch this, somehow. It's powered by Power Pack C on a 2250 4s, which should give it a TWR of around 1:1. It'll maiden on a 9x6 prop, although I have some 9x9s if I want to try for speed.
Here's some pictures of development:
Lighting control board, burners, and burner testing
Reasonably skookum spar and wing swing-y bits, using the Actuonix L12-R actuator with a 100mm stroke.
Starting to look like something!
All-moving elevator (not swung) / elevons (swung) setup, using control horns. Note the wheel collars which keep everything in place.
All done! Certainly a bit messy in spots. Will require sanding and a coat of paint at some point, but now is not the time.
Maiden flight soon™.
