Icarus Aerospace Wasp / Branta

[leaded50]

Icarus Aerospace TAV , a close air support tactical twin-boom aircraft concept from Canada. More like a modern OV10.. WASP version vs. the Branta is same airplane, just with longer wings for high attitude flying. !
I resolved the versions, by making wing extensions to change it to Branta version.
Made in foamboard with length 1150mm, wingspan (Wasp) 1040mm, (Branta) 2000mm
Auw 1900g with a 4500mAh battery.
Dual 2830 850Kv motors, 40A ESC´s and 9.5 x 45 3-blade props.

Nice one. With the extra large span wing on, it looks remotly like a cross bread with a Soviet M-55.

Great work on your foam board models!
Can you tell us more about your design and construction techniques?

Model is maked after the few pictures found, and some resources check on the Su-80, OV 10 Bronco, to find if got correct measurements on wing to elevator eg. Pictures was blown up to be in correct size, and measured all way, to get the ones needed.
Foamboard is used to make a internal spar/formers, who get skinned by foamboard again. After thats done, its correction on edges, connections, perhaps a little superlight wall filler, and sanding before paint.

this is the start with the internals done.
here is the parts for tailbooms, who was more "squared" than rounded by design, without most of the front parts.
