Yes, I see that.Technically, if I was only doing the airframe with no skins, I could probably get it on a half sheet. Barring that, what do you think? 1/3 or 1/2 the size?
Wow!! Where's the drool emoji?!Boy, I hope this flies! I need to spend more time testing that it does and less time designing more skins!

What typically is the issue when a model just will not fly?
I built a NerdNic F16 model and added the EZ pack, but it barely stays in the air and refuses to turn. Layout is as shown attached.
Based on a previous post, I thought I had laid out the components correctly. I also built two models, the first being a glider-only version so I could get the CG correct for the RC version. I thought it may have been a weight issue (which was the case with the V-Tail model I built from the EZ pack), but my F16 has almost all of the paper off and weighs in at 42.5 grams (with motors, electronics, and battery). Could the props be too far inbound? I am wondering if maybe the thrust gets a bit washed out by the elevators in back, especially when turning.
Anyone have any thoughts on what my issue might be? I have successfully built and flown two of the EZ pack models (V-tail and Canard), so I know it's not due to my inexperience in the air.

Sweet.Finally started moving forward. View attachment 209693
what the fuch that looks nutsI’ve been thinking about making a master series style f-4 cougar using the same built techniques that I used on my b-17. View attachment 209696 shes on the chunky side at 78g and with a 26in wingspan.
Do you have the plans yet?I’ve been thinking about making a master series style f-4 cougar using the same built techniques that I used on my b-17. View attachment 209696 shes on the chunky side at 78g and with a 26in wingspan.
Build done. Now to add electronics.

You need ta feed that thing a burger or three. That's far too skinny to be a passenger liner.
Looks about like this haha..
Not yet. I want to get fusion360 for it, I tried to use autocad but I’m not very good at cad and @Whit Armstrong has some good tutorials for fusion360.Do you have the plans yet?
