I had some spare BT-101 left over from my upscale R/C interceptor so I decided to scale up my Buran shuttle I used to do as a kit from 2.6" to 4" tubing, and use 9mm depron for the surfaces...
This is a simple design, not meant to be really scale, but scale-ish and really just an upscale of the kit more than anything else.
So far specs, 38"! length, 26.5" wingspan, 17-18 oz rtf depending on motors, 24mm F-24, or 29mm F-20 with 1/4 ounce of removable nose weight for the lighter motor.
I like the Buran, it's a bit different, and does not have the oms pods which saves a little tail weight and allows me to put the rail buttons offset about 45 degrees from the tail which makes mounting easy and they don't catch on the grass when landing.
I'll post some pictures later tonight.
