FEATURE Fig. 6. Mission Planner user interface of gravity (CG) with good flight stability characteristics. Figure 7 shows a diagram of the component placement regarding the manufacturer's suggested CG point. Fig. 7. Component placement The MTD has full control over all three rotation axes (roll, pitch, and yaw) via ailerons, one on each wing, and an elevator and rudder, both located on the tail, for flight control. Propulsion for the MTD is generated by two brushless motors installed with 30.5-cm propellers that create a total combined static thrust of 4400 g at maximum throttle. The total weight of the system is 4.8 kg and has an experimentally verified maximum takeoff weight of 5.5 kg. The MTD airframe is illustrated as a three-dimensional SolidWorks model in Figure 8.
