life has been crazy, but im finally starting work on my big plane for real. I think I have the design at least 90% the way I want it. This planes' fuse (top, bottom and sides) and the KFM2 will be from 1'' pink foam board. The bottom of the wing, the tail and the stab will be DTFB. The top covering of the fuse will also be DTFB. I will also use the 1'' board for cross supports.
72'' wingspan
12'' cord
55'' fuse
6'' tall by 5'' wide fuse
15'' front nose to LE
28'' from TE to end of fuse
CG @ about 3''
Vert stab about 6'' tall
The wing area will be 864...so the tail area should be around 146
so I am thinking the tail will be 18x8. 18'' wide would make it 1/4 the length of the wing.
the tail measurements and the vert stab height are the things I am not yet certain on. Your thoughts?
My motor is a Donkey ST3511 810kv which with the 12x6 prop should provide 1450g of thrust on 11.1v. I have a 3s 4500mah soft case lipo to power it.
Im a bit unsure if my standard 9g servos will be enough, but they are all I have (other than standard 1/10 scale servos)
