hey @cyclone3350 you have about 5 seconds of fame in my vid

Well, that explains the sudden appearance of the paparazzi parked outside my house.

Been out of town but I got some progress in before I left. So far things aren't really coming together as planned, I'm having trouble figuring out how to mate the nose to the fuselage and ended up cutting more off than I originally planned. I think I may have found a solution though, we'll see how it works out.

@Ratcheeroo you're a wizard.

Anybody else hate hearing their voice on video?

Yea

Same here. Its a shame, and I know I will get around to building one someday, but I haven't been able to build for the past few weeks or so, because of exams.

Hey I think I'm gonna bow out of this one, I kinda just want to do a casual build right now without the restraints of a competition. Might hop back in later but I don't think I'll be able to have anything finished by January.

Well, from what I have heard it is the one community build that is actually REALLY good for beginners!

 

[FlamingRCAirplanes]

Or for people who want a relaxing Flite

Looks like a nice build, very Maule-ish. I already have wings cut out for a PD parasol but I could make it work. We'll see.

Maule M-7, it's a bush plane. The tail reminds me of one if you put it on conventional gear.
