38mm body tubes, dual 29mm motor mounts. Scaling up this design was actually quite a challenge. It will use electronic deployment, and a one-of-a-kind av-bay which distributes components across both tubes for even weight distribution.

It'll be a few more days before I can get started, but the parts have started to arrive...
