Hi Buck,
Being that this was a VERY early prototype, I used retracts that I had laying around as well as fuel tanks. SM will now work on doing the gear and tanks etc.
As fas as structure and strength, it is basically exactly the same as the bigger version and will be good. Wings already had the CF etc. which I didn't have on my bigger one if you remember.
I did notice that the wings are more on the thin / scale side vs the elder brother and that should equate to more speed etc. I did not notice any stability issue as it was pretty stable in the wind even on takeoff and landing.
I'm taking a GUESS here but this prototype kept simple and light was around 20lbs RTF so SM can definitely have the production one around 25lb or so?
Thanks - Adil
