Default RE: CoroCub - a little bigger one.

It is going. Unfortunately I can not spend as much time on it as I would like so it is going slowly. The wing is finished in ARF state, so I started to work on the fuselage. The tail section is going by original instruction from SPAD site. The only change I did was mounting servos on the tail (rudder and elevator will get HS-475HB each), and mount the tail wheel bracket. I also prepared hard points on the elevator and the rudder for control horns. Even now, not glued together, the whole tail is stiff and strong. I am surprised that so far the fuselage is very light - as for the size of the plane.

If I will have a camera and someone to operate I will provide a video. I hope it will fly like a very big trainer. I simulated it in RF G2 with all parameters and in G2 it flies just great. And so far RF G2 is very accurate for the flying envelope of models I built. I simulated my H9 Edge, Powerline Hobbies Edge, Giant Wilga and even GWS C-47. So I don't expect any surprises here.

Pictures below showing the servo tray on the tail, blind nuts for tailwheel bracket, tail section together with many bamboo sticks and finally me showing the size of the plane.
