Is this plane going to fly? I have not flown it yet and thought I would get your thoughts before I try it out. What makes it unique is its wing. The wingspan is 41 inches, chord is 21 inches, and is 6 inches thick at the spars. I call this plane “Fat Boy” because of the really thick wing. The picture doesn’t show the true size of the wing, it is huge. It is a wing with a basement. The plane weighs 9 lbs and has an OS .91 FS for its power. More than likely it will require a 1.20 or larger engine if it does fly. I have been building fun fly planes with thicker and thicker wings so I decided to go all the way with a 6-inch thick wing. I wanted this design to be a really good slow aerobatic plane. The fuse is 12 inches high at the cockpit area and has a ½ inch aluminum channel at the bottom to keep it straight with no warps. The fuse is about 53 inches long. I have Fat Boy balanced at about 23% so I think it is going to be tail heavy for its first flight, but I didn’t want to add any more weight. If the .91 gets it off the ground I am sure it will be a marginal performance.

So see if you can predict if this plane will fly or not and tell me what flight characteristics it will have.
