In my case, I can look out my office window and do a direct comparison, wee bit more differences between a 747-400 and a 777 than the tail

Status: offline 		Yes, and the wingspan to overall length is completely different, the nose shape is different, the wing root is different, the landing gear are different, the motor diameter is different..........................

LAX 95-96?

Working for us (LAWA) or Barnett, Morrow Meadows, Comet?

But you're right - they're not small

Will it get off the ground when you're done? Sounding heavy.
Would look cool taxiing around. Just kidding.

Looking forward to hearing about the replacement 3800Kv motors. Whose are they?

That's pretty cool that you lived here for a while...

Yeah, It's become quite active as far as the RC airplane community is concerned ...a club and
a HUUUUGE expanse of an outlaw field containing long roads in it's grid. It's a development gone sour
and all that remains are the roads, it's better than the club as it attracts turbine traffic due to
the improved runways. It's out in west Palm Bay, FL and it's called "The Compound".

There's free-flight, u-control, rocketry, motorized paragliding as well as a practice area for
lots of full scale aerobats albeit, high in the air. It's really paradise and all RC is conducted in
one area, all the time.

Obviously it's not going to be an exact 747 nor do I believe you intended
to have an exact copy of a 747 so on that note, I really commend your vision here.
Looks like it's going to be a whole heck of handful at first but real fun after the kinks (if any)
have been worked out.

Did you say 4-Li-Po's and ESC's? Where will you be placing the other 2 batts?

Either way...NICE WORK and have fun!

Status: offline 		My suggestion to get the shape right, scan in a 747 side view, use a program called Tileprint to scale it up (just the nose back to the wing, print it out, then glue that paper onto some cardboard and cut out the inside so that you can fit it around the nose and wherever it hits the foam, take off more material.
