Pretty much the title. I'm getting an Old Fogey (b/c I built, and then promptly crashed the FT22, but it flew a little!!!). Do I have to buy a separate set of swappable pods or does one come with the Old Fogey Kit?
Thx!
I'm trying to build a new airplane from old electronics, but not sure which one to choose any help would be great!
Electronics: 2210 1450kv motor from a convergence, a 50a esc, four 9g servos, and of course a dsmx receiver.
I am looking to build a new RC airplane, preferably a Flite Test Swappable plane.
I have built both the 4 channel Mighty Mini Tiny Trainer, and the FT Nutball. I feel very comfortable flying both of them, and I’d like to progress to another Swappable plane since I’m limited on electronics.
I...
Surprised this little plane isn't getting any chatter about it. Starting this thread since I'm going to be building one over the next few days. Hopefully others will chime in as well.

Just finished scratch building this mustang from DTFB and tried painting foam board for the first time! I just applied spray paint straight on the foam board and hand cut the vinyl decals. I’m very happy with how it turned out! The vinyl doesn’t seem to stick great on the paint but it hasn’t...

It is a 6 channel plane using one channel each for throttle...
