A lot of private discussion between me, @Chuppster @Mid7night on this and it will be huge, 12 feet wing span, so will do 6 feet wings for each side.
To attach the wings, I am borrowing the design this group used to build the Giant Flite Test Duster and bolt them inside.
Also another design feature I am going to borrow, is the removable power pods, So each connected EDF, will be removable and able to be used some where else when this big plane is not flying. For the first part of fuselage is the same 1/2 inch foam board used to make the duster, then it will be normal Foam Board to help continue to build the front of the plane and rear of the plane. Now a normal Swift Wing B-52 has only one wing, then rudder and horizontal stabilizer.
Now, the Second Main Swift wing, will be the horizontal stabilizer, so the front wing will have the ailerones, second will have elevators and then in the rear, the Rudder, same style Rudder a real B-52 has, where it opens up and the shute comes out to help slow it down. So, will be saving up to do the EDFs, I will see what I can afford, If I can't go with the full 8 EDFs, I will go with four.
So far nothing but 1/2 inch foam board, gorilla hot glue sticks, and gorilla clear tape, then a little bit of cardboard to begin the frontward build. There will be wood and bolts involved too, hoping to do the same style of bolts as on the power pods, so they are flush against the wings and not disturb the air flow.
To see the B-52 from the air, I also attached a photo of a normal one, so you will see I will be extending it to add the second main wing on it. This one I will take my time on, since it will be huge, and will continue to test the world war one plane that is ready, just waiting for the items from Flite Test.
