    Here's the original RCG thread:

    http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1304036

    I took the posted .skp file, scaled up to 30" WS, and re-sized all slots/tabs and added a few more. It was a huge pain but it's finally done. If you look at it closely you'll notice there's a .1" discrepancy between the width of the fuselage sides and the top and bottom pieces that close it up, but I have no idea how to fix it without creating another problem. I figure you'll most likely not even notice it while building. The original jet has functional canards, but I will be building it with stationary ones.

    This 30" WS jet has nearly 2 sq. ft. of wing area. With a standard 2212-06 motor and 3 cell 1500-2200, it should come in around 16-18 oz for a wing loading of under 10 oz per sq ft. I'm hoping for a little bit of speed, but I don't want to have to fly at full throttle just to keep it in the air :D

    Please look over my sketchup file before I work on the phlatcode. Most likely I have missed something :D

    Your parts look good, you just need to swap your Y and X lengths in the Safe area settings of your parameters window and re-position your parts.

    Thanks for working this one up. Attached files [​IMG]
