???

I have been building airplanes for 15 years now, realliy like yout proyect… but:

 

why do you make the wings that way, they are not strong for a fly, they need reinforcements, where are thre servo pictures? i cant see the controll horns… 

does it ballance? where does the batteries go? the tail controll surfaces seems to be little…

How are you going to controll it?

you need more support in the body of the airplane in the part that holds the wing…

how did you make the wing profile… i can help to design a better one… look for the NACA 4415 profile for a start

i have so many tings to ask…

Personally I wouldn’t be to

Personally I wouldn’t be to optimistic of getting this plane in the air. But for all i know you might have years of experience with  RC planes? If not i would have started with a proven concept RC plane and  worked from there.

I think you have a lot of repair and gluing in front of you :slight_smile:

Seeing the first picture on the frontpage, I thought you were going to make a flying carpet… Not a bad idead though.

Wing construction

As mentioned by avent you need to rebuild the wings, these will just break when you will pull up/down to fast. Having a completly flat bottom wing is neither recomendable. It will work and produce lot’s of lift but it won’t make the plane better/easier to fly.

Where you connect the wing you want some plywoood NOT balsa. It's being used because its very light not for structural strenght.
