Plans update! I've incorporated the changes I made while building, including making the battery hatch slide into the fuselage more smoothly and adding reference marks for where the servos and formers go.

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

I didn't need to add any more weight to make it balance on the right CG, but thanks to the motor and servos it's pretty easy to make it tail-heavy, especially with only a 2 cell battery. (Builders beware! :)) It weighs in at only 200 grams though, so hopefully it'll fly well.

Thanks! I'm hoping to do a V2 of this plane soon. I haven't come back to it since a crash on the maiden folded the wing, but I have some ideas for how to strengthen everything and make it more controllable and fun to fly

How’s it comin?
I got busy reorganizing my workspace in recent weeks, but I’ve kept collecting ideas for V2. It might have a maiden over the winter, we’ll have to see.

Even though this is so tiny, I think I’ll give fixed tricycle gear a shot if the wing seems strong enough, because it would look so cool sitting on its own wheels! :D
