Much like @buzzbomb and his Scout Speed Racer thread...

...I'm going to be attempting this as well. I've actually had it in the works for a while, but got halted, so now I am picking it back up. Here's one of my original posts on it:

Basically the wing and fuse/tail are mostly built. Just gotta join the 2 together. I found my aileron size/performance was a little weak on my last Mini Scout...only made them about an inch wide running most of the length of the wing. I also had dihedral on my last Mini Scout. So, on v2, I'm taking away the dihedral and probably increase the aileron size by another inch or so. I am also doing away with the rudder for a full bank and yank experience. Also going to use a single 9g aileron servo and then my 5g elevator servo. And to complete the package...a 40A ESC, and I just got this pretty purple thing in the pod today...
3B 2650KV brushless motor. I believe the motor is capable of 4S, but I will probably just run it on 3S for starters. More pics and updates will be coming soon!
