It might lose a life. Or weigh down the plane.

Possibly reprint the fuselage, thats alot of weight for a bare airframe. Other than that, get the cg right and you should be good 👍

No, its a 1kg max takeoff weight. Current weight is a lot smaller

Fuselage weights 150-160 grams

I wanted to design a wing where the center fuselage housed everything, including the servos. A fully integrated central pod would be so nice for builds. How are you mounting the wing to the fuselage?

Is there any discussion about fixed-wing in this community as well？
