Impressive! What sort of battery pack will be powering such a beast? Flying that for the first time's going to be a credit card crushing butt cheek moment

Amazing.

Any chance of posting up a video when it first flies?

Power will be 3S1P lipoly 4000MaH. Current drain is around 38 Amps at full throttle.

The trickiest part was the functional Fowler flaps that give up to 40°. Probabaly at least a month of headscratching for those alone.

Maiden flight will be 'interesting' no doubt
