As we say in Germany: Die spinnen, die Chinesen! This way any model is an UAV - I wonder if Graupner or Multiplex know that? W.

Hi 300 times more powerful than LiPo batteries?? I think you got the decimal point in the wrong position; 300% equals 3 times, which is quite an achievement. Wonder how long we still have to wait for the cells? W.

I saw yesterday that the WM400 is on special offer. Get in contact with Anthony from velocity RC and give him my regards: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13584173&postcount=8 W.

Wendi, Great work, is this your own design? Do you have plans available? I'm a big fan of DF and have been for years. Have an A10, Yellow Aircraft F4, and BVM aggressor all fuel DF. Selling all my fuel stuff to invest in Electric. I really like thi…

Indeed a nice foam cutting table - but that does not mean that I now have to make a new one to keep up! :-) Perhaps in another 20years, hehe.

here are some detail infos for the TERN fuselage, which may help to make some 3D drawings. All my drawings are done in Corel and can export in DXF or PDF format, so these formats are here as well. I would appreciate if you could give me some feed back of what helps you.

Modularity, Versatility, Affordability

Here I have drawn some ideas of how to arrange wing and fuselage (shoulder wing or "middle" wing. There is also the possibility of adding a bottom pan to the underside of the fuselage to create a water plane for the water lovers. At least you have a chance to rescue your expensive equipment after a dunk. Undercarriage can be either left off or fixed depending on your take off ground; I will make a retractable UC as well (for the high speed runs :-)).

Hi Wendi,

I was absent of Mexico several days, now return, thanks for your answer.

I am a fanatic of the aeromodelling and computers, i am initiating in the UAV, i have developed some small projects for FPV, your model like me much, and i want to construct one in Mexico.

greeting and thanks
