Isaac, what is your planned motor for the Osmose?
I'm thinking of ordering one and wasn't sure if there was enough room for a big prop without going to larger gear..
I can't tell, but did you honeycomb your foam for your wings and stabs to save weight? Are you concerned with weight being an issue as it's such a large plane?
Great work!! And thanks for the build thread.. Alot of people will find it usefull in their projects for years to come..

Hi Chris
I plan to use the Hacker C50-13XL and JETI Spin 99 Opto speed control.
When the plane is horizontal (Using 20.5" prop, the carbon landing gear that comes with the kit (19cm) and 2.5" wheels), it leaves only 1.5cm clearance from the ground.
So I am going to use the ZN CARBON FIX GEAR XL which is 21cm.

Chris I din't honeycomb the foam of the wings/stabs becuase they come already sheeted.
According to my plan it will weight a little under 5 KG (using 1.2kg battery).
