This thing is a pieced together frame using mostly 450 helicopter parts. It will be a fixed wing plane.
The main flight envelope will be set more for endurance/long distance, as my roommate has challenged me to a 1-hour flight time (Currently getting 20 min with a 41" Extra 330s). This will be a test vehicle.
I have not decided what wing to use yet, and the pusher motor and mounts may be removed in favor of twin motor tractor/wing mount setup. I re-motored the Stinger, so I have 2 2812/950Kv motors available.
The wing will be near 60x10 inch or near 600 sq-in, and probably a KFm-7 airfoil. I will most likely keep it a straight wing, but I thought about going swept-back to match the angles on the tail, but haven't done the math to figure aerodynamic center for it may put actual CG too far forward. The low wing loading should yield glider-like performance with minimal power, though there should be enough power available for evasive maneuvers when needed.... which is inevitable.
Wing to be built this week.
