On board electrical system opens up more certification requirements
Payload weight is after fueled. Of course if you want extended range, you pay the price in less payload.
Sounds interesting, is the picture on the bottom the 8 foot version? When you say it should carry 15 lbs, is that 15 lbs plus the weight of the fuel? Is there an onboard electric altenator/generator? Would you consider making a wing with diehedral i…
Yes, the ARF would include engine, fuel system (different capacities to choose from), but less servos and radio system. 1/4 scale servos would be recommended. The entire top opens to allow easy access to any part of the bay.
