Only changes I foresee on the final is the rudder control will be on the left side, the elevator control will be on the right, there will be a small relief on the left side for travel of the rudder control horn. I want to test the A pack before final release.
You're on top of it Headbang! You've got a lot of people really looking forward to the final plans. I'm certainly one of them!
Note to self,, order F pack motor and ECS and props tonight.
Good news is it only takes about an hour to build. Not sure how long it takes to cut out. Takes my needle cutter about 40mins for the 2 sheets lol

Nope. Holding off till I design the power pod and run a couple test flights. Also want to do 1 more build to be sure things are good. Then will do an official release. Debating on reducing or taking the down thrust put all together on the full size power pod as well.
Why? Do don't have to fly all the trial versions at the same time. Why not just use the same receiver?
I took your plans and created a dxf where I can get two full planes from three sheets. Cut out each one in about 15 min with the needle cutter, so two planes in 45 minutes. Everything cut out beautifully as far as I can tell. Unfortunately real work calls so I wont be able to work on these for a week or so. Can't wait to assemble and get them up in the air! My plan is to try out a 2205 2300kv on one and a 2212 2200kv on the other (because I have a bunch of cheap ones lying around). Maybe a 6x4.5 or a 7x5 or an 8x5 on that one...

I wanted to have 3 all built and ready to go. My original 2 ar6600t's I was using had to head to a viggen and a seaduck. Not big on swapping gear, like to have things ready to go. Really not a big deal tho, that was like $90 in a $700 parts run. Was out of a lot of staples, needed batteries ranging from 800mah 3s up to 5000mah 6s, lots of balsa and basswood and ply as well.
Nice!
Thanks... I may take lots of part pictures and take it to CAD and see how that goes..
Honestly once this is designed I will keep the final one I build all painted up. Chances I fly it ever again will be slim, why would I fly such a little guy when I have so many big ones? For me it is in the fun of designing.
