KOMBATT

A design influenced by an article I read on a Russian combat R/C planes.  The airfoil is symmetrical. A simple design using the Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept. My attempt to build a solid light structure that can take a beating and be maintained easily proven to be successful, I ended up with this. A fast agile BWB concept, the KOMBATT

Foam construction has become more popular than ever due to its simplicity and a wide variety of type of foam that can be used. Also the technologies with batteries and brushless motors have greatly influence foam construction possibilities.  With that said, a new KOMBATT was design with these new technologies.   It is basically the same design as a pusher.  This choice was made due to my inability to fly well as a sport flyer.  You see... as a pusher I save more propellers and motors this way.
