31 kilo airplane - new layout

With Jean-Pierre we're working on a new layout where the tail is a carbon tube. The motor we are using, the Raket 120, uses a poly-v belt reduction and with this folding prop that is sold as individual blades, we can make a hub so that the prop effectively rotates around the tail boom. I will be posting a more detailed sketch of the engine mount and how the tail boom goes through it.
