Here it is. For those who haven't already seen this or heard of my interest in such a project, I've begun to try my own hand at custom multi-wing designs after enjoying the DR1 so much. I could have gone with a simple bipe or even a triplane, but wanted to make a four wing plane. Fair enough, FT made a ten wing plane fly and others have done similar stuff in the annals of RC history to now, but I don't just want it to fly, I want it to fly outstanding and be unique. I have a working prototype that I'm getting dialed in with CG and trim a bit still that already flies pretty good, but got off to a rough start. Here's the video, will include more pics later. I can answer any questions about it if necessary. The design is very simple and uses flat wings with no dihedral, camber, or air foil, and employs V tail elevons.
The plane is a tiny bit squirrely, but some of that is still trim and possibly CG related. There's quite a few small things I could tweak with the design, or change the control system or air foil completely. I'm still not the most experienced designer/builder/flyer and multi wing is new territory for me, so any help or ideas are much appreciated.
