Hi guys !
I need your experience here. Im doing a 1/6 version of the MQ-9B (also know as the Predator) and i need advice on airfoils.
The plane is going to be quite large (around 12 foot) and im sure it will be tail heavy since the engine will be at the back.
Ill probably need an adjustable counter weight, but even then wondering if it will be enough.
The nitro plane MQ-9 replica use a eppler 374, look good to me, but im really new to modeling so ill need your great advice.
The purpose of the plane is to be a drone, equiped with the ArduMega autopilot system. Im not there yet ! but i love the project, make me go back
to my woodworking skills.
So slow to medium speed, with great endurance for the fuel (might switch to a fuel cell in the future, yes it already exist some
system :

Also if you can suggest airfoil for the tail, would be appreciated.
By the way ! im doing a lot of reseach but math arent my best skills !
Ill soon post picture of the frame of the plug.
Thanks !
