Interesting what you said. Are you putting landing gear on it ? I guess I will have to revist mine and show you it can take rough and poor landing as well as being thrown in the trunk. In fact, it took me over 2 months to design a landing gear that will stand up to handling clumps of grass or real hard landing where you can straighten it out and re-fly it.
In fact, most foamy's don't have landing gear and that's the next thing a pilot should learn how to do before they buy a warbird(tail dragger) where they usually jump into the air (stalls) and rolls over. And of course, be able to land it in front of you.
Anyway, the result of both of us should have a EDF trainer that meets some or all your goals.
Our resultant offerings will definitely be different! Mine will be heavy and slow with a very well tried and robust undercarriage.
My biggest issue is that I like the handling characteristics of a canard but a canard does not like to be heavy as it requires a much larger foreplane. The wing is quite large in span and cord, for its size, and removable, (held in place with rubber bands).
In order to give it a reasonable flight endurance a 2200 battery is preferred and so the airframe must be able to support the battery in a crash without significant airframe damage.
You offering is a great little bird but comparing out versions is like comparing a F15 fighter to a U2 Recon.
Anyway time will tell if I can even get it airborne at the size I require!
have fun!
