FTFC21 - Build-ruary the 4th

[GliderFlyer]

Oh no! I was typing my build posts for all my planes on my thread a while ago, then took a break, and now the draft got deleted because someone closed the tab
That was almost half an hour of typing and attaching files. Ugh. I will not go into as much detail on the build this next time. If only I had reserved posts 2-5 so that at least I would have the first two done and saved. Oh well.

I will be checking through today, but let's all chime in!

How did we all do on building four planes?

Well I got 3 of the 4 done. That p-38 was a little too ambitious I guess, I was only able to get half of it built over 2 weekends. Oh well, I still had a lot of fun!

I got my 4 done (barely) but would still like to put landing gear on the edge. That 3 blade prop probably wont be happy with belly landing. I still need to fly maidens though. Looks like Saturday will be a great day to fly. Hopefully I can get some flight video then.

Don't I know that pain... Had a huge post about the Hangar RC's Seven... Perfectly written. Pics, links, vids. Bopped out for a call or something and closed the Tab. Boop - gone. I couldn't come back for a while.

In short, my heart goes out to you bro!

I hope so, I. Rooting for you. Good work sir. Looking like we have a few contenders.

I'm not sure I mentioned this earlier or not so if it's a duplicate I'm sorry. But this year I have put together a small winner's trophy.

if it's nothing but an icon picture for the winner

But this is the prototype I will be modeling it from.

Bummer... That means it's close though!

Bummer... That means it's close though!

maybe, apparently it is still sitting in customs

 

[FoamyDM]

Managed this today. A better shot of the V-sel flying:

 

[Matthewdupreez]

[FoamyDM]
