I have come to like twins.
The goal for this plane will be an inexpensive twin a beginner can fly, probably bank and yank, I may or may not worry with rudders, I will make the optional maybe.
Here is my original idea.
I have a SU34 partially drawn out, with plans to have it be about a 5 foot long twin 70mm edf and a complete monster, and in reality, I will probably have to do this after the FABU, but I have really been thinking of something simple.
So I have this idea kicking around in my head to build a kind of portable, easy to fly, easy to build, beginner plane. Twin motor, and can grow with you into FPV. I am thinking along these lines. I have always liked the killer whale, and I had actually bought one, but the seller backed out on me. Then there are several iterations of the twinstar, which is a good basis for things, and I like those too and especially this super excellent seaplane version I found, and of course, you have to love the C-123 provider. Lame name, but I dig the mini C-130 thing it has going on. Plus, I have spent time on a couple, not in the air, but training for ops on a C-130, and I still remember the smell of them.
The thought is to have a plane that uses cheap parts. Like these 4 dollar 2205 motors. They will provide plenty of go for it and handle 4s no biggie.

That being said, I am not sure what battery size I want to use or have it carry. I am torn between a 4S 4000mah or 2200mah. Obviously a 3s set up will work too, and you can buy the 5 dollar 3s escs or the 7 dollar 4s ones.
It will be FPV capable and accept an action cam.
Planning on a 40 inch wingspan, non detachable. Should be pretty easy to transport. You could make a detachable wing of you want, but there are some designs I want to do that would prohibit it.

Ok, I am at a crossroads, I want to get more into DTFB again as I am inching toward the end of the P-36, but I don't know what I want my next plane to be. I could either do the FABU, which I have drawn out, or there are a couple of other projects I would want to get to.
