College Solar Plane Project

[1ozzyabroad]

I am proposing a college project to build a flying wing from foamboard that will carry solar cells and possibly supercapacitors to augment the use of a smaller flight battery.
Initial ideas are based on this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMkPjBf6dNQ
Even though this wing flies well, I would like to be able to take the rearward shift in C.G. into account and redesign the wing accordingly.
The other option is to go with a swept straight wing and I was looking at something similar to this one: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1586976
Any thoughts, ideas or links will be greatly appreciated.

I am also interested in this and I am working off the same work as in your YouTube vid. I would like to see redundancy however. Two engines, two cameras, two auto-pilots...

Initial ideas are based on this project:

This project documents the electronics used and setup of them well. I will be watching this thread, with hopes I try something like this in the near future.

Check out RcTestFlight on youtube. He's got videos that are quite well made about this.

You can also look for the "Engineered Mini Wing" on Samm Shepard's channel. I am working on a similar project too but with 3g lte + fpv / camera footage.

do my homework​
