Easy inspiration is too look at how the real thing does the job, then duplicate in minature.
My project is a 767-300, 4m span. Fuse is built out of geodesic carbon rod and fibre, wings are similar construction. I have the fuse and wings built however need to carbon fibre cover cloth cover. All up dry weight is approx 6.5kg. Power will be from twin 110mm fans.. Batteries will weigh a ton and push her over heavy model weight, I am close to having Darren give her a look over for that certification.
My 15Kg daughter can walk over the wing and sit on the fuse no dramas so the geodesic framing is seriously strong. I hope to use a lot of what I have learnt to make an uber combat wing with the 2m core with all non conventional controls, ie vectored thrust, canards and xb70 style wing tip droops.
Warning to Andrew R, I have a massive amount of questions re the 767 control surface laws and authorities under different flight conditions. I previously loved the 737 however the 767 is a very different kettle of fish and has some serious performance that is quite unlike the 737.
Photos soon on a diff thread.
Cheers
