Well worth the effort as skinning the Foam designs is becoming more and more popular because of what you gfx guys are doing with it. Who knows. If you come up with a viable solution maybe you could produce it and see if FT will put it on the store for you.

I need to do a few skins for some of the FT designs. I want to do the Racer for sure, also the Cruiser. Both could handle the extra weight without issue. As for the store option, what I do here I give away freely. My name being on a gear door of an aircraft flying on the other side of the planet is all the payment I need.
I think the added complexity and cost is probably the biggest hurdle with the skins. Hopefully through collective brainstorming and experimentation we can cut down on some of that.
At least with the complexity anyway.

Saturday was our clubs attempt at a Warbird event. Attendence was not great (only 2 people from outside our club), but I choose the make the best of it. It was windy and gusty above what I would normally fly in, but I flew anyways. Got in 6 flights, and no damage!
Did have one very close call though. After finishing a flight on the Little Bird, I noticed one of the cyclic servos was locked in the full up position. Time for a replacement I think..

Thanks Psy, unfortunately no video. I grabbed a few more photos of some of the other aircraft there though. 2 big gassers, a Corsair and an SE5, both beautifully detailed.
Crashed 2 different planes 2 days in a row.
I recently got a RocHobby V-Tail Glider and really really like it. I haven't flown with or around a Radian but I suspect I might have something that can best it, that is once I get her back together. As it is, well, I stuck my last landing like a gymnast. I think it will buff out though. This plane needs an owners thread, tba soon.
With everyone gearing up for FFO (but not me) I think I'll take my frustration and get to doing some aircraft maintenance.
The other plane I crashed (today) was my UMX Wildcat. I crashed it into the garage and when it looked like it hadn't had enough I sent it up a tall maple. After shimmying up that (at 49) I decided I needed to end well and flew it some more. Then I noticed some wounds it has. I'll have to put that one in down status too.
Gotta love this hobby. Oh and the UMX Timber BNF is on sale, hmmm.

Beautifully colorful !! Used to see skies that on the eastern med early mornings when I was on Nimtz. I had one really awesome shot right after a heavy thunder storm just as the sun was coming up. Hardly any colors but there was just enough cloud break up that beams of light could get thru and the camera caught the actual beams not just the ambient light.
Wish I still had the negatives from back then but I had over time to put my stuff in storage units and they all kind of melted into a solid blob.

Ouch! I can empathize with that. I had a bunch of pictures from my high school exchange trip to Germany that were also destroyed when I stored some boxes in the attic. Memories only now.

Did you see Bjarnek's latest video? I saw that plane and you popped into my head immediately since you have been doing a lot with powered gliders.

Hmm I wonder why I haven’t been getting notifications for this thread... It doesn’t matter now however since I just read through a months worth of posts lol. I finally got the fly at the new field and met some awesome club members. I have a cool video that my friend Kyle and I shot there the other day.
I just checked it out. Thanks for the link. That Bjarne is always doing what I want to be doing. Finally I'm not far behind. I just have to glue my plane back together. I need to get some video to post too.
Job update: USPS sent official offer today. I have a few days to respond. This may call for a celebratory UMX Timber purchase.

Did you happen to see his walk thru of his shop? You could sleep 6 in there and still have room to film a build video and not interfere with someone flying the sim on his big screen in there. the perfect man cave / dog house. Would not mind getting banished to there every once in a while myself.
