Here is the g-code that gets away w/ the head rest, this will make the build much easier.

I used a very light motor similar to the blue wonder, it did fly, but the power and overall light weight made it horrific in a slight breeze.

I would say cut one out, throw it together as a trial build, figure out how in the heck to get it to balance and then make it flight worthy, it's only foam after all and easy to hack up.

You should note that I omitted the CF rod in the wing in this design so it would look more of a complete model for the show.

GOOD LUCK!!!

has anyone got this plane to fly? I'm probably going to give this one a try, looks like it should make a model with about a 31" wingspan, which is a nice size. I noticed in the sketchup drawing that the lower wing/sesquiplane had no dihedral - maybe that would help?
