Finishing the plug requires quite a bit of watching paint dry. So I'm going to get on with the flying surfaces. The wing is reasonably big at 69.15 sq dm (1071 sq in) as I want it to weigh 5kg. Foils are SD 8035 12% root 10% tip. Stab will be 25% wing area and SD 8020 10%. I don't know the wing position yet. I'm going to build the model and then install the wing so the CG is just aft of the neutral point. The Stab is going to have big elevators so I can keep it as far back as possible. Servos will be at the front.
