Update!
The foamwork is pretty much done, the wings are build and I sealed the bottom of the fuselage with some hot glue.
I build the wing in three sections, in the end, the outer sections will fold backwards for easier transportation.
At 2 Meters of wingspan, this thing is absolutely massive. Thats more than 78 inch! It used 8 sheets of foamboard!
To power it, I took the largest motor and the largest prop I could find. At 16"x6", the prop is twice as large as the one from the small Libelle. Im only going to use a 3s 2200 battery.
Here you can see how the wing is made. its an undercamber design with ribs and a bottom spar to give it lots of strenth.
I still have to do a lot of work to attach the wing, but I hope I can finish it next week.
