Thanks for the input guys. The model is a 19 inch span X-29. I started with 3-views and transfered it over to graph paper. I also increased the wing span, canard area, and rear strake flap width by 10% to get me some more wing area without messing up to overall look. I already know the challenge ahead in getting it to fly stable and am kinda looking forward to it. Right now I am still working on details as I start to make the plans. I have tried four times now to upload a top view of the enlarged design but it wont let me upload right now. I will try again in an hour or so. When I figured the wing area I only figured what was outside of the fuselage(canards main wing lex and the strakes along the sides). The original X-29 had a fairly small wing and even after enlarging it is still quite narrow. I figured at 27 inches long and 19 inches wide I should be able to get it under 12-15 oz but I need to watch what I put in it for gear. I know it wont be a floater but it would be nice to have the wing loading somewhat reasonable.
