After the Huge MOSS 4 X  it was time to  make a small day to day FPV platform .
After flying FPV over the past few  months I found that a pusher OR a twin motor set up is the best for FPV rather than a nose mounted Motor .
So  was born the Idea of MOSS BOX  Grin

The Plane is a  pusher with following specs :
 Wing Span : 52 "
 Length   : 36 "
 Motor : 803M-5T Astro 020 Direct Drive Motor
 Prop : 6 x 4 APC
 Battery : Desire Power 11.1V 2600 mah 25 C
 Controls  : 3 channel rudder/elevator
 Rc : Assan 2.4 G
 Box dimension for Equipment : 18" X 4.25" x 4.25"
 Servos : DY 0206 x 2 nos



Though I have not tried it as yet with an FPV Set up but the platform seems stable  enough to mount FPV gear on .

60X40 may be a little too much for this set up.
a 5.5 X4 as per specs will draw 23Amps.
and is the rated max.
though one can easily manage with throttle control.

The Current draw  was not too excessive neither did the motor get hot , did not check  with a meter as I did not have one at the field  but after around 10 mins in the air the Battery voltage dropped from 4.16 till around 3.93 per cell. will check with a watt meter sometime

Sai,

Yes Vinay the wing is also coro  I made a simple aero foiled wing  for the horizontal , cut out 2 pieces  of coro in  the shape of a sector  cut  6 pieces from a cycle  spoke  of around 2 " each  bent these pieces at the center   to an angle of around 5-8 degrees from horizontal ( did not measure the angle correctly )  inserted then  into the flutes in the horizontal wing and cynoed them into the flutes  then inserted the  sectors to these  and cynoed it , reinforced the joint with cello tape on both sides .

See the photos in this  post by Subu  : http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/mr-moss-glider-arf-kit-step-by-step-build-guide-(from-rcforall)/25/

Instead of the usual MOSS polys  this one is a sector but with a slightly lower angle .

@rj varun, it seems you are searching for a beginner plane. So, first you need to tell about your flying skills buddy. Also, whether you have a radio and flight simulator or not. Then comes to a plane. See, if you want to build yourself, then go for Mr. Moss. This is a very simple plane that require beginner level building skills. You can also, order a kit of Mr. Moss from muav.in. Very easy to build kit that consists of all the things required. Otherwise, later on go for an RTF easy star or skysurfer.
