I have blue red and grey right now, maybe a couple last shots of black. I may use this paint scheme...

Little Update on my Walmart Glider wing Project from earlier... It is completed and flies excellent. Had CG and structural issues initially, but after getting them ironed out it was smooth sailing!

I painted the MM size Sumo 3D today. It's not pretty, but it should be easy to see (the bottom of the wing is red).
RTF weight is 185 grams with a 2s 450mah lipo and 2204 kv2300 motor spinning a 6x4.5x3 prop. It has 3 3.7g servos and a 2 gram FS2A 4 channel receiver. It should have around a 2-1 power to weight ratio. Maiden tomorrow if it isn't raining to hard.

Top job on the decals!

My Better Half cut the Planedemic decals on her Cricut machine.
Well I started on a carbon cub! I’m basing it off the ft plans but modifying as I go by implementing “master series” techniques. Here’s what I’ve got so far. The wing doesn’t have any dihedral and I’ll be using fb one servo for the flaps. I glued the aileron servos in the spar and made small slits in the bottom of the wing to make the bottom look really nice and clean. The flap servo will be hidden by the fuselage. Overall I’m super happy with how it’s looking so far and I can’t wait to get it up in the air! 😁
I’ll start the Cub group build thread tonight and post my progress on there.
And here’s the mini sport scout I made over the weekend. It flew great but my f pack motor died. I made plans for it so I’ll edit them and then post them when I get the time.

Whats the wedge for, is that the tail? I noticed you are using one servo for the flaps, are you gonna do a flaps/flaperon mix?
Looks good with a smooth wing though, are you making it out of DTFB because it is a prototype?
Yes - that's the tail section. I'll be working more on the fuse today. Since I'm going to use yellow paint, I decided white would be easier to paint over.

She has the regular Cricut, and also now has the Brother "Scan 'n' Cut."
She supports my hobbies, and I support hers.
