The size of this plane
makes the Astro 40 and super box look small. |
| I built the wings first
using carbon fibber rods in wing tubes thinking this would be strong enough to support the
total weight. Finishing the wings I found they flexed a lot at the joint, so then I had to
add struts as well. I could have saved a lot of weight in the wings if I had designed it
for struts first.. |

HS101servo's in the wings,
I had to use two extension leads to get to the receiver. It's a big surface to move and
I'm still wondering if I should have used standard servo's. |
| This was also my first
attempt at laminated rounded wing tips, I was pleased because they ended up strong and
light. |
