Large Shockflyer
Here is the start of my 45" Shockflyer. I made the CAD drawings of the original and scaled it to this size. The motor will be a Himax 2025 with GWS D gearbox and Kokam 3S 1500 Lipos.

Well here's my 40"Yak with razor 2500, 6.6:1 gearing, TP 3P2100 it comes out to 15 ounces and on the 12x6 it has plenty of thrust. Hopefully tomarrow will be the maiden.

RE: Large Shockflyer
Would you be interested in sharing your CAD drawings. We use CAD at work and have a plotter. I have a shock flyer Edge-540 now but am interested in building something from scatch. I need a bigger plane for the Mega 16/7/7 setup that's in my Slow Stick. I was thinking of just buying the Mega Straight Edge but sure like your plane a lot better.

RE: Large Shockflyer
OK....I'm in!!!!! With mothers day being this weekend....... next week I will get the foam.
I did 50% of what your original plans are so th span is 47". I have an MP Jet bushless combo with gear box....has the power of a 480.....I will drop that on her. I want to experiment with the GWS props. I have an APC 10X4.7 that may work.....but a lot of guys are using the large diameter GWS slow flying props.....any suggestions?
I dont use L-polys....I will use the HE cells 1100 miliamp with eight cells. Should I drop the scale a little more for this combo?
