TN Cessna 402

So this is my project 2 months ago and the first plane i design and it was succesful so i descided to share it with you here guys 

Its Cessna 402, i loooove airlines planes, i wanted to build an airbus or boeing but EDF is costy for me and i have couple of spar motors laying around so i said why not i design propeller ailiner and when my eyes got on the Cessna 402 i fell in love ( i also designed the Douglas C-3 whith a skin but not yet test built because foam is costy here and hard to get if any one want to test build it contact me on my email ; fadicvb@gmail.com)

so thanks to Nerdnic's tutorials on adobe illustrator i ve been able to design my first DTFM plane and guys its an amazing experience . i started from 3 view image and just started drawing and designing the plans using FT technics . here is a full video from the start where i designing it to the maiden flight:


the plane is very easy to build and i put very detailed instructions on the full planes make sure you read them before you build. nothing is complicated only that you need to make your own way how to make the nose slide in and out in the fuse i did that using similar thing like the ft guinea pig. i made mine with a removable wing to access electronics but my friend while building it did a very simple modification to make the canopy removable and under it a small whole to access electronics here is the photos from my friend Philipos's buils


and here is his maiden video:


I hope you like it guys, and all you need to know to build this is on the full planes as instrcution notes and excuse my english :p all the love <3

beautiful! I would like to build this, because my first self design (a 60" span shorts skyvan) crashed and- literally burned! Battery fire. I want a twin but lost the confidence to design right now. But I need to know please, where is the center of gravity located on the wing? Also, is wing removable? What is the wingspan? I can only fit a 50" in the car if my wing is attached permanently. Thanks in advance!

Center of gravity is as in the plans bro, the plane is 1100mm wingspan and yes i designed it with a removable wing and also the nose is removable, so you can glue one of them
