Scratch Build fixed-wing UAV look-a-like

[aeronautical]

I got bored of assembling kits or arfs so i decided to scratch build my own fixed high wing uav look -a-like.

motor: turnigy 2215 900 kv
esc: 25 amps multiplex
servos: 4 x hs 55 including one for steering wheel
prop: 9x6e apc

i need some comments on the landing gear if you can advice. it'll be a tricycle landing gear config.

these are some pictures of the plane:

will be sanding the fuse much much more and it'll be painted black

if you have those irritating dents that depron is so prone to,

I recommend that u either patch up or glass the surface

or you cover with tape / monokote, etc

hahah i dont think so.. thanks. yea. my only concern is my main landing gear position. it may be too far back which may not allow the nose to pitch up for takeoff

thanks sunstorm.. will show some flight pictures (hopefully)
