Just flew this today with Derrick and ni8v8r. Had some fun dropping flour-bombs!
It's based on Mikey's-RC YC-14 design with a few mods of my own:
Decided to do a conventional cruciform tail instead of a T-tail with full-flying stabilizer. Used a 48" span KFm2 airfoil which works well, but stalls are kinda nasty and it could use a tad more wing area, so I am in the process of making a longer Armin wing from ExperimentalAirlines' Peace Drone. Also the bomb bay is much bigger than the plans call for, with double doors that can actually be closed instead of a rotating pod that gets dragged on the ground when you land.
It has enough room inside to completely enclose the 1280 MHz cloverleaf. Looks really neat flying around because the landing gear configuration doesn't hang down like some.
The front wheel is fixed, but I can still somewhat taxi using differential thrust mixed in with the rudder.
