Default Profile 3D P-38 75" span

Scratch built Profile 3D-P38
video at Vimeo, vimeo.com/262604823 RCU wont let me post the address
75" wing span with removable wing tips for storage/haulage (39 1/2" span with tips removed) 1400 sq"
72" nose to tail
14# rtf
Built up balsa wood construction with fiberglass epoxy tubes in fuse. Foam center pod.
Powered by 2 OS120ax with macs header and beer can muffler (much improved throttle response/curve/fuel economy)
Hayes 8 oz tanks
plenty of power, hovers at 1/3 throttle
Savox SC 1267 servos on tail (one for rudders, one for elevator) elevator counterbalances operable
Solar 770 servos (4) one each aileron/flapperon, inboard flapperon/aileron operable
Smart Fly EQ 2 (3 each) pairs aileron, and throttles, easy adjustment
HiTec HS85MG throttle servos with voltage regulators
2s 2500 lipo rx pack
Spectrum AR 600 rec
Plane has 8 flights on it.
The build and first flights was the thrill for me. Its very easy to fly. Tons of power. Knife edge fly by is pretty cool (im not the best pilot for sure). Wanted to do this for a longtime, fun project.
Sorry not shippable.

Just watched the video, looks like a blast to fly and definitely looks a lot lighter in the air than it is. Very cool plane.
