Hi guys and gals, I've been building out of foam board for a couple of years now and after building the Edge a few times I decided to try my hand at making my own set of plans. I'll try to keep everyone updated and I'll definitely release the plans when I've worked out the kinks. I've been working on this 40" Extra for a couple of weeks now and finally got around to building the prototype this week. It will probably use the same power setup as the edge. I'm hoping to make the wings removable like most other 3D types with nylon wing bolts and a round spar, but I'm kinda stuck right now. I was planning on using a 1/2" dowel as the spar and can't figure out a neat clean way to cut a round hole for it.
Edit: I think I've had enough with revising, so here's my final version(for now). It doesn't seem to like slow 3D much. Rudder input tends to put it into a ridiculous nose dive no matter what but it flies decent otherwise. AUW is around 740g(26oz) and I'm running the EMAX GT2215/09 with a 10x5 on 3S. It's light and very responsive so it may work better with a heavier motor as a racer or something. I'll probably try making plans for a different airfoil once I finish this course in aerodynamics.
