Status: offline 		I was able to get a hold of some coroplast signs today to make some PBF'S out of. Along with the normal large rectangular signs i got some of these large Pepsi bottle signs. Now i am wondering if it will fly. It is approximately 51 inches tall and 17 inches wide. Any suggestions?

If a Pizza lid will fly(If thats what they call it) the Pepsi would fly.
Balance it as is then add motor, servos , receiver and point into the wind, give it throttle and have fun.

Unfortunately, his homepage is down, so i can't find a link to it.

Status: offline 		I think i will try using the 2 1/2" sq pvc for the fuse. I will swiss cheese it to lighten it up. I am going to basically build it like a pbf only a lot longer. Any ideas on where to put the airfoil spacer and where to set the CG? Do I want to try and power it with a 25 or a 40 size engine? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

The four stroke engine will give you more nose weight, as you need to balance at 25% of the length, that would be about 13" from the front for you. I think you will have problems with handling though, as a friend tried a 18" wide one and it was a real handfull to fly.
