Update:

The team has decided on a high wing design, standard tail, 4 lb max weight plane, and 250-280 watt power output.

We will be testing different dihedral, taper and wing areas soon to see how the plane performs during taxi and in the air to find the best wing design. For the prototype the wings will be made from foam.

We will then test tail designs. Do you guys have and advice on the tail set up and construction methods? Currently we are not sure how large or how far away the tail should be.
