Hey mad builders! Well, had a buddy of mine give me a Long EZ kit he had started. As the fuselage he started (and I didn't notice before sheathing the bottom) was way out of wack and what was left to do is not my cup of tea, I decided to make a flying wing with the foam cores and balsa from the kit.
I'm going after a Drak/Versa style setup with the blunt nose fuselage. I have used the CG calculator on-line but had a question. Since the wing is not a continuous sweep (see photo) would the CG have to be moved forward or backward to compensate? I continued the front point through the fuselage for the root cord measurement. I planned on and knew the fuselage would extend forward of the wing, but it's way out there even with a 4ah battery. The stack of materials, battery, rx is what will be used to finish the fuse
I'm using a Turnigy D3542 1450kv motor I had from an old EA Synapse. I'm thinking I'll need at least that for the weight/size of the plane. I could cut the length of the wings a bit but don't think that would change much and it looks pretty cool as is. Don't want to have to add weight if I can help it. Any input is appreciated, thanks.
