Hey guys,
I've been watching Flite test for a long long time now and have ALWAYS wanted to try design one of my own planes out of the materials they use.
I've come up with this:
This is called the CV-18 and is my first original design. It is meant to be the platform to get me into FPV. (something I've) always wanted to do but have never done before) Its made out of 11 sheets of FT foam board, bits of wood and a LOT of hot glue. Its my alternative to a more expensive ready made wing like the X8. Its supposed to run off two 4s 4000mah batterys (in parallel). Now this is where I'm stuck...
I have NO idea where the cg for a wing like this should be. Would be a great help if anyone could help tell me a reasonable estimate for the cg of the wing.
Thanks in advance!
Also, if you guys want to see the maiden video of this thing, let me know so i can post it here! It should be spectacular however well or badly it flies!
