there is no way that this will fly. I encourage you to give up...
first off that wing is way too heavy. I fly an electric plane. here is the
link.
http://h1070635.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=HBZ2000
the wing for this plane is made of foam with a graphite spine. its light as
a feather. I don't even own a scale to weigh the wing, but the entire plane
is 16 oz. that wing alone must approach that. plus the motor is a Mabuchi
380 that generates a whole &^$*&^ of a lot of rpm and the prop is way more
intense and light than anything lego makes or could be made of lego.
its not that I don't believe in your project, but the current state of parts
says you'll never build anything but a glider. good luck anyway.
if there were a way, it would be to build a wing like a hang glider and a
simple 9v powerpack and the old technic motor with the high rpm and a 40x8
combo to get that thing pushing air, as a payload. the advantage to this
is that you don't need any of the cross supports, and the weight that comes
with them that the wing your making needs.
