With FliteFestWest being anounced, I figure that it will be here before I can snap my fingers. So, I started cookin'. And, as the title suggests, my project is a Giant Swappable P-61. I can only fit so much in a car, so I'm doing a 3 piece slot-in wing to save space. I also am not bothering with spoilerons. I tried a few concepts, only to find that they do absolutely nothing on a foam board model(I challenge you to make operating spoilerons). That brings me to saying that this model is 100% foam board construction. Two wood spars, waterproof foam board, some aluminum bar stock and rods and cardstock. Landing gear is some aluminum wires bent to make rear gear, and the front is a combination of wood and aluminum stock using a Lego wheel. I was thinking of using these: http://www.emaxmotor.com/emax-gt-3520-power-40-brushless-motor.html#.WHwLVrQ77YV for motors coupled with some 70a ESCs. But then I decided to use C Packs because i already had them and they were cheap. Im going to run it of 4s because I firstly want it to get off the ground and maybe also have a bit of oomph. Servos are a ton of coupled 9g's (2 on each aileron, 1 17g on elevator, 1 on each rudder).

So, I'll get to the build. Please share what you think!
