Quest for the giant combat wing

[Battery800]

well with about 2 weeks to flite fest, I’m starting my biggest project yet. You’ve probably figured out the goal, but let me fill you in on the details. It will be made of insulation foam, coated with 2 oz fiberglass at the front and another 2 layers of 0.75 oz on top everywhere else. It will measure 72 inches across, having a 15.75 root chord and 7.5 tip. Thanks to the los banos bashers for details about the plane this is based on, and @FlyingTyger for helping me plan the glassing. This is where Ill keep you guys updated on the build

it won’t be that far off, but the wings will be angular and not curved

Does it fit in whatever vehicle you are using? BTDTMO.

Yes. Empty Toilet paper rolls, cut in half & painted to match the aircraft for 1/6 scale.
If 1/12 scale, just some poster board curved & glued.
