I have started making NASA UCAV X-47B last Sunday for participating in sweepstakes-2014.
I have added winglets from NASA X-48 design for more stability.
I m posting the design drawn on plastic corrugated sheet photo which I took on 27th April 2014, Sunday with newspaper.
I have plan to coat it with nylon cloth from old raincoat for better strength and look.
As work will advance I will post more photos.

I've always wanted to build the X48, drop it from a quadcopter and propel it using a small rocket.
Maybe your build is gonna help me out. Good luck! Thumbs Up
