Carbon Falcon - ripstop carbon fiber wing DXA 1st model

[ggunners]

Hi folks, I've finished my first model of the Carbon Falcon, a ripstop and carbon fiber plane AUW of 9.5oz flying on a DXA. I've tweaked the .par file the best I can and it flys pretty close to the real thing in stall and loop characteristics. The FMS model still rolls better than the actual.

Please give the model a try and leave comments. Thanks!

Hey, very cool model! I like it!

When I may give a tip for a minor enhacement:
The akku and other rc-components under the wing seem to have the material value 'emission' not set to 0.
That makes these surfaces to emitt light, so they are illuminated a bit. Looks a bit strange in the shaddow under the wing...
Maybe you can reduce that value on all surfaces to 0 and you have a perfect model!

Lego, I actually illuminated those on purpose since when flying the underside of the plane is seldom illuminated unless inverted I wanted folks to be able to see the battery, servos and receiver when flying in a normal position. I also put a bit of emission on the underside framing for the same reason.

If it's offensive, it's easy to change. The MQO file is at: .

I actually thought about toning the color down a bit by adding some black. Still looks very cool and very close to the real model at .
