This is proposed to be a fully aerobatic sports model, with full 3D capabilities

No real plan as such.

I used the dimensions of fuse & tail feathers from: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1076019, and for the wing, found a plan on the net and scaled to 1200 mm Span. The rest I developed as I built  ;D

Material: Wing 3 mm Corro, Fuse 3.5 mm. Wing would be better in 2 mm but I couldn't get any. Used a bit of balsa - spar, part of the wing blocks cum LG block cum formers, and some scrap foam board for formers for the top

The LG Block is 10 mm hard Balsa sandwiched between 2 mm ply (to prevent crushing on tightening the bolts)

Used a hard wood dowel for the front wing attachment. It goes into the balsa block in the front of the wing.

The pilot is a model of Mr. K.K. Iyer, so I added a mustache for authenticity  :rofl: :giggle: :giggle:

The covering on top is thick chart paper, covered with sign vinyl. Used this method when making an FT Spitfire, and adapted it here

The hatch is on top, as I am putting the LiPo there. Plan on using a 2650 3S, weighing 215 grams, to give me a flying weight of 1200 grams

To bend corro, I cut through alternate flutes on one side.

I must confess, I am a little worried about the high battery. Hope it doesn't cause instability, although the model is supposed to fly inverted or straight with equal ease  ??? ??? :headscratch: :headscratch:

Try and keep the battery lower. Even if it doesn't cause instability, any aerobatic plane should always have cg as close to the wings as possible. Helps in achieving smoother rolls etc. etc.
