This is a work in progress UAV. The wingspan is around 54in. It is meant for 1/2 in square tubing (wood/aluminum) for the spars. The ribs should be spaced out 3in apart and 2.5in for the wingtip pieces. This model is meant for a monokote covering and is meant for a VTOL platform (Like the Google wing project) but it can still be used for a normal airplane. It does have a symmetrical airfoil but if you thinks that's too much, let me know and I'll make a semi- symmetrical airfoil. ATTENTION: Airfoil ribs might need to be cut in half to fit on most printers! A redesign for a small 38in wing span is on its way!
UPDATES:
4-6-16- Added Vertical stabilizers (4) that also acts as landing struts (for VTOLs). These stabilizers are optional. If used, elevons are needed. These are not rudders but can be made into rudders.
