this am I doing now, Austrian elephant. because my pik sevens went fast to build, I thought to start with this. wings will have cores of foam, hope it holds together. there was more work with this model so it will probably not be ready this spring. we'll see.
here are some photos ....

Hello

Five meters , and very small end wings, maybe a positiv spin on the wings is good for have a smooth fly

on Wednesday, my styrofoam wing cores to come will dress them with 1.5mm balsa. I have carbon fiber 10mm square with 8mm colfiber rod. thought to have 2 pieces of 50cm as vingjoiner. what do you think about this, will it last?

Do you have a servo in each rudder? Or you use bellcranks?
