Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Всем привет! Начат новый проект F-18 Super Hornet на основе чертежей Jetworks.

привет! самолет у тебя очень красивий. Я давно подумивал построить самолет по чертежам джэтворска.

Anybody else catch @Mid7night (Ben Harber) the other day? What a HOOT!

I have a lot of pieces of 5mm styrofoam left from winter projects. The drawing of the MIG 3 with a span of 1.3 m lay printed and glued for more than 4 months. Today I cut out the details and almost glued the fuselage together. The project will be a long one: there is no 3mm foam that will be used for the fuselage skin, the manufacture of the wing, stabilizer and keel. I think the model will take to the air in early June. I plan a flight weight of up to 700 grams.

Add stripes along the leading edge of the wing on top and get better planning with the KFM2 profile.

I am still considering what I want to do for my first FF Combat build. I have seen that losing visual is the most often issue, so any ideaas how to keep visual? or make the plane easier to spot in a flurry of others?

Don't stand next to someone flying something funny. You will watch it launch instead of yours. Boris the spider got a kill that way last year. LOL!

I had another plane last year that depending on the time of day I could not tell orientation. Ended up not flying one combat because I just new it wouldn't go well.

How about 2 white strobe lights on the underside of the wing? But you know it will attract others to you very quickly. Or just go out there for the fun of it.

Do people often go up with elaborate streamers? ‘Cause I’m thinking a number of short metallic streamers and a glittery/sequinned fuselage making for a ‘dancing on ice’ get up might make your one easier to track.

Working on an enlarged Vincent Unrau B-17. Previously, I've been VERY slowly printing a 3D B-17 from 3DAeroadventures when I got impatient at how long it was taking. Why not enlarge the Unrau design by 138% to make it the same size and see if I could build a foamboard version faster?

I'm hoping to put round formers around the box frame for more realistic MS curves. Skinning will require some trial and error.

Is Power Back B too much for my FT Flyer? Plans although recommend so.

those streamers get cut off REALLY fast

it should work well, might be a bit overpowered but not too heavy

amazing! are you 3d printing?

Canopy, nose cone, intake and thrust tube 👍 the rest is Depron

worked on a bit of skins for the ft mini mustang

The foamboard/3D printed B-17 is starting to take shape.

That’s going to be beautiful
