I started building another Artemis, this one is slightly smaller at 7 tenths the scale of the big one. It's going to slipperier through the air, has a semi-symmetrical tapered wing and should be more lightly built as well.
Still using arrow shafts for the tail booms and this time just depron for the fins, rudders, stab and elevator. the wing is balsa skinned light EPS. the fuse will be mostly Soft EPP foam. It will come apart into a small is neat package and use carbon spars aligning the wing halves. It's 1.4M span
Here's some pics of the tail booms so far
