Default RE: new model started

I like your plan. But I'd also like to try a couple of things with it. Is it a CAD drawing by any chance? If so could you email it to me?

I'm thinking that I'd like to flatten the lower line of the nose and tail to lower the thrust line closer to the wing and move the tail down closer to the thrustline as well. With that done I think you could get away with a perfectly flat one piece wing to make it easier to build. To get away from the usual adverse yaw or the model's desire to tighten the bank in a turn I'll introduce beveled tips that both add shape to the tip and act as small tip dihedral panels.
