Hello again my peeps!!
Drawings are complete, and construction has begun in earnest. The model is going to be powered by a 90mm inrunner, on 6S 5000 mAh with a Castle Creations Talon 120A ESC.
Built up ribs construction for the fuse, the ducting will be achieved with poster board, lightly brushed with fiberglass resin for waterproofing and durability. Wings will feature a radial spar design. The landing gear are rotating, so I think I am going to use the new A-4 Skyhawk landing gear in it. I am toying with the idea to make the wings removable, but I have not gotten that far in yet, so I will wait to see the viability of this option when I get there. The span is only 43", so it will not be totally cumbersome. The tall tail (which I have decided to go rudderless) will present more transportation problems than the wings I think.
Anyway, here are the start of construction photos, I hope you guys enjoy the build!!
