Im adding it to my build list!

My 2204 is already going in another plane. Do you think my 1808 will work?

What size prop does your 1808 use, how much thrust does it put out, and how much does it weigh?

A 5" prop, can't find how much it puts out, but it is 175 watts of power, and it weighs 29g

Yes it would fly, it wouldn't be super fast though. It'd be more of a scale flyer.
You might also want to try and build light with a bit less glue and remove some of the internal paper of the fuse.

Alright! Thank you! Will start work on it in a few days!

Finished my D.520 after having the pieces sit there for almost a year. Took it out to maiden this morning. It is a rocket with a 2207 2650Kv motor with a 3S 950maH battery. Now I have to paint it!

 

[Grifflyer]

That's awesome!! So glad it flew well!!! What paint scheme are you gonna go for?

 

[synjin]

Well this is the base. And I printed roundels for the fuselage and wings. I think I’ll do the green, brown, gray camo scheme.

I’d like to do it in a larger size it looks so nice flying.

I like that shade of green!!

That's from a rattle can that I got at Walmart. I think it's a Krylon camo color.

Cool!! It looks very similar to the greens used on WW2 planes, the ones I get seem to be too saturated.

Painted. Still a rocket! I bounced it off the ground, but no damage, so I threw it back up in the air. The intentional landing was pretty good.
