2021 Bush Plane Build Challenge: Foam Folder STOL Rebellion Design/Build

[OliverW]

Howdy all. Last time I tried this challenge, school and bad weather kicked my butt, so I'm back with my first full size design. I'm calling it the "STOL Rebellion" as it rebels against your typical cub or cessna! She's got crisp lines inspired by some of my favorite aircraft, and will hopefully fly fantastic! Here's my start on it.

This thread is all about building, flying, testing, and competing the challenge. If anyone is interested in building one, this would be a great place beta builders to post in as well.

UPDATE 3/16/2021
I have the fuse mostly drawn up aside from doublers, and a landing gear mount. So I started working on the wing, and it is going smoothly so far

UPDATE 3/17/2021
The plans are ready to be built off of, and I will hopefully start the build either next week or the week after

Yeah me too! Its got very distinct proportions compared to other bush planes. Like its sort of slim, but not. And that makes it look very snazzy!

have you started it now, or dropped the idea

 

[OliverW]

Haven't started it due to losing my park flying field. Haven't really worked on much of anything apart from balsa builds for the past couple weeks
