Default RE: Meerkat dopplered....177mph

Here are some pics. Chris' dimensions are pretty close so I will leave it there, especially if he is putting it to plans. I also included a pic of root of wing. You will see where the thickess part of wing is. The wing is foam core and then fully sheeted and glassed in middle. The thickess part of wing is 1". The hatch right behind wing saddle is where two standard size servos rest, then pushrod to back for rudd and elevator. The battery is as far back in fuse as possible for balance. The plane as it is is a touch nose heavy but landings are not bad. However the best landing I have had to date was yesterday when the muffler got sheared off and the balance was perfect, it floated forever . The front house's a 6oz bubble less tank which is important for consistent runs, especially if you plan to push the plane to the max at high rpms. My GPS sits between the throttle servo and rear of wing, barely! Let me know if you have any more questions.
