I decided to go ahead and start a build log for the fpv wing that I'm building. Maybe it'll keep me focused on this project. I need all the help in that department I can get!
Specs:
Material: 2" thick XPS sheathing insulation from Home Depot
Wingspan: 50"
Motor/prop: Don't know. All depends on all up weight at the end of the build
Requirements: stable platform for carrying fpv electronics, modular-breaking down into 3 pieces for transport, look cool, keep me entertained.
I'm playing around with the idea of making molds from the foam in order to lay up fiberglass and make multiple wings. I go back and forth between that and just sealing and laminating the foam. Or I may glass over the foam. I'm building a minimum of three, which isn't too many to carve from scratch each time.
First, here are the "scale" plans I'm working from:
