RE: B-36
are this plans from the old kyosho controline kit?back in 1970 there were two entered in the nats both weighed close to 20 pounds and used enya 19 engines.with todays advances in radio,engines and finishing techneques you should be able to build lighter as these kits used all plywood formers and ribs.i would use laminated balsa aft of the wing for fuse formers and lite ply in non stressed areas forward as well as out bord of the main gear to save weight.the main gear retract inwards so any gear that can suppoert say 15 to 25 pounds should work.nose gear would also be standard as it retracts rearward..i bulit one of these using fox 25's weighed 19 pounds.back in the 80 at las vegas there was an electric conversion of the kit done i believe back then about 24 cells were used so there was alot of battery weight to contend with.the problem you may have is the trucks on the main gear for the four wheels need to be made thin enough to fit inside the wing root.
