might be enough.

Should be but much is going to depend on the effect that bifurcated ducting has on the performance of the fan.

well they are secure and i can hold up the model by the wingtips with no flexing.

now comes the fun part of designing the wing fairings, now if it was just for me i would bodge something together.
but as it will have a plan, i need to design a set that can be easily built by others.
thinking cap has been put on.

need a new esc for it. the one i have has no bec so i would have to add one and that means more weight.

getting a tad heavy now at 786gm without battery, covering and paint.

hmmmmmmm
been working on the battery box this aftrnoon, gone for a balsa/depron composite to try to keep the weight down.

i just worry about the battery breaking free that's all.

plus it will give a little more strength to the nose area.
