New Jet! cratch build!
I wanted to show my newest project, and get some info on what you guys think! it is built from a rendering I saw of a future aircraft. it will have two Vasa 55 fan units with Mini AC 1215/12 brushless motors. Jetti 18 amp ESC, 2 Pico servos in ellevon setup! total weight should be 15oz or so with twice the thrust! I am far from finished and would like to hear what you guys think! Thanks Chris

RE: New Jet! cratch build!
It is definitely going to want a lot of thrust with this much sweepback! It looks really cool man! Reminds me of the aurora. should fly I reckon! Nice big elevator throws, small aileron throws, maybe try chucking it over long grass with no kit in to find c of g. if not make a little one and throw it around a bit. ( my neighbours think Im mad cos Im always running up and down the street throwing some sort of chuckie around) LOL! I usually put some control surfaces on my chuckies so I can get them to roll to test roll stability to let me know If I need more - less dihedral or anhedral plus it helps you to guage how big your aileron throws need to be plus you can get a much better Idea of c of g if you can test the pitch sensitivity. Cant think of anything else which might help. Good luck!

I think that it looks awesome one recomendation i think is to instead of intaking from both top and bottom just intake from the top it will allow for a little better trust and lift . just a sugestion but it looks great.

RE: New Jet! cratch build!
Just my opinion, but it looks like it will be pretty unstable with that small of a wingspan and that swept of wings. Not trying to put you down or anything, that's just what I think.
Also, I like the Lightning in the background of the pics! That thing looks huge!
