Hello Forum!
I recently was introduced to IBCrazy's Specter V2 after Spencer, an active member on FliteTest.com posted an article with pictures of his Specter V2 and after researching and hearing a lot of positive reviews about it, decided to make the Specter V2 my next scratch build. However, I wanted to make the aircraft completely detachable for ease of transport since I do a lot of traveling overseas.
Construction: Fiberglassed Dollar Tree Foam for fuselage and tail, fiberglassed blue insulation foam for wings.
Wingspan: 48"
Length: 44"
AUW: 31 oz approx.
Motor: 2826-06 Turnigy 2200kv
Battery: 3S 2200mAh Lipo
Requirements: 1) Both wings detachable.
2) Twin boom CF tubes detachable from wing and folds into tail.
3) Rudders fold down onto elevator.
For rudder, I planned on using the same method Ed from Experimental Airlines uses on his vertical stabilizers on the Peace Drone XR via magnetic latches. (Link below)
As for the twin boom CF tubes, I was going to use one screw between the horizontal stabilizer allowing it to swing inwards, somewhat like when a tricopters arms swings towards the tail.
Now the part that I can't figure out is how to attach the wings. I thought about using screw two screws per wings to secure it, but I'm pretty sure theres a much smarter way of doing it, and thats where I need your help.
Any and all ideas, opinions are welcome. I'm still a novice when it comes to scratch building and theres much for me to learn!
