Jofro,
This is a profile F16. I had 5 cm(2 ") plates of XPS 50X120 cm. I had cut one with hot wire and created two 2.5 cm plates. Bonded them together to create the wing plate and used a 5cm to create the fuselage. I hollowed out a tunnel in the top fuse half to run the wires hidden in it. I'm using a 3248 NTM motor 815 W with 4s (5000 ma) . Total wt. is 2.7 kg. I had sanded the foam wing into an airfoil shape and glassed the whole thing over with a 125 grams of fiberglass cloth ( could not a 75 grams locally).
Initially I thought it would be a hand launch but now with this weight I figured a wing loading of 37 Oz. per sq.inch I am not sure. I need your advise on this. Should I attach a fixed landing gear to it?
for some reason I can not down load the pictures I took from my LG phone to the computer. I can mail a coupel of pics. on whatzup if you have an account.
We have great beaches here too (Netanya, Israel) but it's too cold now. I'm waiting for the summer in a couple of months.
Best Regards
