Here’s my build:

I used black foamboard and peeled all the paper except for the squares on the bottom of the wing and elevator to give a checkerboard pattern.
I used 1mm carbon fiber stringing to give more rigidity which was definitely needed after peeling the paper.

I 3D printed control horns and the motor mount. Lmk if anyone wants the STL’s, I’m happy to share them

I’m using a tmotor AT2303 1500kv motor with an APC 8x4.1SF prop and 450 3s packs. It’s got plenty of power and punch on this setup.
I finally got a maiden in, unfortunately I was fighting a little wind (you feel every gust with a plane this light) so my flying is all over the place, but first impressions are good, it feels really nice in the air! My rudder servo decided to die on me, and you can hear it locking up and is the reason for the “crash” so I need to get a new one on order. Once I can get a flight in calmer weather, I’ll post another video!
