Scratch Carbon Cub 60"

[shortbus1989]

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a scratch built carbon cub as I don't want to spend $400.00 or have space for a 85 inch plane. Here is what I have so far, I will try to make measurements but sadly wont have plans unless there in some serious interest. Let me know what you think, obviously not to scale yet it has been growing on me as I build it.

Keep in mind the battery in the shots is a 3s 2200. Also lets see if someone spots something odd about one of the other units in the shots.

A viggen weight...cute. That's a biiig DTF plane. I probably would have doubled up on the foamboard in a few more areas, probably some lite-ply as well.
Curious to see if it holds up ok. What motor/esc you planning on running?

Actually it held up great in 30-40 mph winds for its maiden.

I was thinking 60" but now I'm thinking 80". 80" with a park 480. Should fly real nice being as it will be so light. My 50" balsa cub does STOL lift offs at 1/2 throttle
