Will this Barbie Corvette fly?

Installment 1:
With all the awesome planes at flitefest, I enjoy the ‘sketchy’ builds the best, so I am trying to build one myself. My daughters were nice enough to donate the car so I cut out as much as I could to lighten it up. The wings are from an old tiny trainer, I’m thinking that, if it ever does get lift, they’ll likely rip off, I’m still thinking that through. Next will be a fail section, I’m thinking I might use the tail from the trainer I took the wings from -any thoughts, comments, concerns, or advice is appreciated!

That's no Vette!! But yeah, I agree that you should use the TT Tail.

I would like to take it off with the wheels as is, I originally was hoping for a single engine but I’m thinking I probably need wing mounts?

 

[Mr Man]

Yeah, you’re probably gonna have to do a twin, unless it becomes a pusher…….

Used the tiny trainer plans for the tail section

Did you ever start on the extra 300? If so, I made the servos cut-outs a tad large.

Thanks! I had the plans printed out large scale at office max and I am in the middle of making a poster board template of each piece

For the ailerons to be exact, but not a big deal👍. Just remember, you do not double bevel the leading edge, it just forms to make a nice round leading edge👍

This is just about my finished mock-up. Anyone thinks it has a chance? If so any thoughts on engine size?
Thanks!

I’d say that motor would work, you’ll need the bigger prop to have any thrust. (lots of area blocking airflow)
