I've been interested in twin boom inverted V aircraft for a while. I followed this project:
https://www.flitetest.com/articles/rq-7-shadow-scratch-build
and thought I could build a slightly less scale version using the Flite test A motor, 850 mh battery, 5mm carbon fiber tubes and foamboard.
Mine weighs 330g (with battery), has a 76.4cm wingspan, 12 cm chord and wing area of about 916 sq cm.
I based the construction off the mini P-51
I started with a test piece
