It looks to be doing 90 at mostClocked it on my old setup with a 9x6 and a Turnigy D2836/8 1100kv doing 81mph, This setup is considerably more powerful (SunnkySky 2216 1250kv, 10x7 prop) I will have to try and get a reading sometime!
I'm hopeful for this setup... motor was only slightly warm to the touch after running a full pack through on full throttle. I'm impressed. Might be time to pull out the 11x7.
seems about right. my 4s pack i’m using is a bit old, and this setup isn’t crazy different than the last. thanks for your input!
I would try extending the fuse a few inches and moving the tail back
Ok thank you! I had a relatively successful maiden video and a few other off camera flights with this plane in wind so Its just a bit confusing to me, I will take those into account if I build again.
Good point on the elastic bands, wing could be flopping all over the place .
I saw this video and it reminded me of an 8 foot coroplast B2 concept we were working on. It is at 4:47 in the video. This was made with a 4' X 8' sheet of 2mil coroplast (sign plastic) . In the video we had a central vertical stab for the maiden flight which we eventually removed. If I remember right the B2 had 3 elevons on each half of the wing. This was before foam became so popular. I should revisit these old ideas in foamThey do work, you just give the a few degrees toe out.
But here you go , nothing , no v stabs or wing tips . Start at about the 3 minute mark. The Horton
That's looking superb - very clean build. Good luck for the maiden! Mine is now flying nicely and yours is a neater build, I think, so the omens are good!
Nice clean build there, well done!

Very nice, well done.
My brother and I started a small company called Plastic Concept Planes. We started around 2002 building "Spad" arfs. For those of you who haven't heard of Spads, they were originally planes built from political signs and plastic downspouts. I think a lot of these plans could easily be converted to foam. Here is a link to some of the plans: https://www.spadtothebone.net/freeplans.htmHow long ago was this. Loved the gasser combats
That looks fantastic! What colors are you planning on painting her?
