I know a 6' wingspan plane isn't really that big, but it is much better than anything I have flown or built.
I still have a long way to go on this build, but thus far it is looking achievable.
It has a 6'x6'' pink foam KFM step, and will have 6'x12'' DTFB bottom step.
The tail is 18x8
total fuse length is 55'' and it is 6'' tall.
I threw some extra pieces of pink foam, a few servos and weighed it. I estimate that AUW will be around 1600-1800g. The motor/prop should provide 1450g of thrust with the 3s lipo (4500mah)
the bottom and top of the plane will be DTFB.
Once I have the tail done and the top partly skinned, I will finalize the placement of the wing. Currently, I cannot be sure where the CG will work out, and I don't want to be too far off even tho the battery will give me a decent amount of adjustment.
The top will have a open cockpit look added to it. I bought one larger servo for the elevator, but will use regular 9g servos for the ailerons and rudder.
Im thinking of painting it red/white. Once it is fully built, I will shave and sand down the corners of the fuse as much as I can. It wont look scale by any means, but it should at least have a decent shape when in the air.
Here are some current mockup pics.
