I saw the skyhunter and thought "I can make that" so this is the build process.. Enjoy :)
Flying FPV with a fatshark and mobius camera. I love this camera no sun flaring.. And so clear.
Plane was built will 1/2in wall foam from Home Depot and gorilla glue.
Found out that the foam has a grain to it so you can bend it one direction. here is a pic of the reduious.
Added 3 foam blocks so i could sape the nose how i wanted it.
Standard Gray paint had to a lot of lite coats so the foam would not burn.
First dry fit.
Put magnets in the top to hold the hatch down. Harbor fright had a pac of 10 for 2 bucks
The new motor runnign a 11x7 pusher prop
Installed landing gear.
Ready for the maiden flight.. So nervous....
Had to put 3 2200mah batteries in the very front to get the CG about 1/3 back on the wing.

I'm wanting to build a long range FPV craft based roughly around the General Atomics RQ-9 Reaper, Wing Root Drela GW-19/GW-25 to the wing tip airfoil as Drela GW-27, wanting something in the neighborhood of 2-meters wingspan with quick detach wing and boom for storage.
